Man Bites Dog - Déjà Vu
Pit Bull Attacks Police Officer
A San Diego police officer shot and killed a pit bull in Pacific Beach Friday after the dog attacked him and caused minor injuries to his hand, authorities said Friday.
A police sergeant was checking on a transient on the beach in the 700 block of Hornblend Street at about 4:30 a.m. when he was attacked by the animal, SDPD Sgt. Jim Schorr said.
When the officer found himself unable to fight off the attack with his flashlight, he drew his gun and shot the dog twice, Schorr said.
The officer, who wasn't immediately identified, suffered minor hand injuries that did not require hospital treatment, Schorr said.
