According to the police on-scene, one man was out walking his dog on Rising Sun road, when he and his pet were attacked by two loose pit bulls. After attempting to free himself and his dog from the attacking animals, the man drew a handgun and fired one shot at each of the attacking dogs.
The first pit bull was killed instantly, the second was hit, but survived and fled. It was eventually found and taken in for treatment. Its condition is currently unknown. The man returned home and called the police.
Police say that the man did have a concealed weapons permit, and do not foresee an arrest or citation because he was defending himself.
