Man fatally shoots pit bull after attack
A man on Saturday shot and killed one of three pit bulls that attacked and bit his wife, police said.
The pit bulls jumped out of a pickup truck about 1 p.m. Saturday along Mann Road in northeastern Morgan County.
Media Wilson, a spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety's Animal Care and Control office, said the woman had stopped to help catch the dogs when she was attacked.
She drove home, and her husband returned to the area with his gun.
The man, whose name was not released, was questioned by police but was neither arrested nor cited, Wilson said, because the shooting appeared to have been a case of self-defense.
The dogs' owner disappeared in the confusion, and his identity was unknown, Wilson said.
A second dog was captured by animal control. The third dog escaped.
The woman's injuries were not serious.
