The dog attack was reported at about 11:30 p.m. Sunday at Carson Street and Norse Way, where responding officers found a 51-year-old woman screaming for help....
Bystanders had tried to pull the dog off the woman, but were unsuccessful, police said.
[W]ith the dog so close by, paramedics could not approach to help her.
When the dog became more aggressive and began to advance, officers fired a 40mm rubber bullet to drive him away, while a second officer fired his gun at the dog and hit it. It ran across the street, giving paramedics room to treat the woman.
Officers tried to get control of the dog by using a stun gun on it. When the dog tried to come back to the area where the woman was being treated, officers shot the dog a second time, killing it....
Police say the dog had a history of violent behavior toward people in Nevada.

He should have had his own segment on “Live PD.”
Sometimes a dog needs to be put down.
51 year old woman. Her OWN dog. I wonder what the breed is?
1) It’s unusual for a dog to single out people in Nevada.
2) The dog died violently and is now history = violent history.
At least it didn’t attack an innocent person. If someone owns a Pitt bull, there are risks.
Yeah Too many stories of cops who show up for something innocuous and wind up killing the family pet because it barked.
This dog was ripping into a human being and deserved to be put down.
Always on the Pit Bull. The biggest problem with pit bulls is the @$$holes who train them to attack.
Wonder how the dog knew they were from Nevada?
I agree. The police showed commendable restraint. They drove the dog off with non lethal means and killed it when it tried to return.
The cops show the dog? I bet species-ism was involved.
>> I wonder what the breed is?
Amish? TROP? Oh wait... TDOP!
-The Dog Of Peace!
She chose the risk to own such a breed. For whatever the reason, this pit bull attacked. I would prefer there be no victim but at least it wasn’t an innocent person that had nothing to do with the dog.
Pit Bulls are bred to do what they do. It’s in their nature to fight and kill.
When my German Shorthaired Pointer’s instincts take over, she points at something. It’s what she does because that trait was bred into her via many generations of purposeful genetic selection. When my Labbie’s instincts take over she goes and gets it and brings it to me.
My theory is that many Pit Bull owners that deny the instinctual fighting nature of their dogs do so to bank up some plausible deniability for the day when their dog acts instinctually and does the unthinkable.
....Police say the dog had a history of violent behavior toward people in Nevada....
But, he was perfectly OK in Arizona?
Things that make you go...WTH?
Oh, come on, no need to exaggerate. Owning a pit bull is no more dangerous than having a loaded firearm which pulls its own trigger once in awhile.
LOL
