Park City police shoot, kill aggressive pit bull

KANSAS -- A Park City police officer shot and killed an aggressive pit bull dog outside the city's Days Inn hotel.

The animal was reported shortly before 7 a.m. Thursday by a citizen who saw it roaming around the hotel.

"The officer had no recourse other than the shoot the dog because it was coming at him in an aggressive manner," said Park City Police Lieutenant Henry Spurlock.

Nicole Farrell's husband, Chris, had to jump into the back of his pickup truck to get away from the animal.

"He likes pit bulls, but he says this one was mean," Farrell said.

Officers were not immediately able to find the dog's owner.
