LOUISIANA -- The Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Office says a dog bit a deputy who was investigating a report that a dog had bitten an 8-year-old boys. Authorities said neither injury was serious.
Capt. Kip Judice, a sheriff's office spokesman, says the Youngsville-area boy was playing with three boxers when one bit him on the shoulder. After the deputy arrived, a dog came up behind him and bit him in the arm.
The deputy shot that dog in the leg, but it ran off. Investigators don't know whether it was the same dog that bit the boy, or which dog bit the child.
The other two dogs were impounded.
Judice says the owner may be cited for violating the leash law or face a negligent injury charge.
