Cop Fires Twelve Shots at Dog, Hits Two Animal Control Workers Instead

It all started when Detroit Police went to check out a house that allegedly doubled as a chop shop and realized it was protected by pit bulls.

Detroit Police needed to remove the dogs, so they called the Michigan Anti-Cruelty Society. While the rescuers were setting traps for the three pit bulls, one got loose and started running towards a police officer. That's when, we're told, she pulled her gun and fired off twelve rounds.

"The police pulled a gun out and shot, but she missed the dog. I guess she was scared or something, and she hit the animal control person," he said.

One animal rescue worker took a bullet in the back of the leg. Another grazed his back side. A stray bullet also clipped his co-worker's boot.

It's not clear if the pit bull was hit because it got away and is still on the loose.

One dog they were able to trap is said to be sick with mange and is severely wounded from dog fighting injuries. It had to be euthanized.
