Omaha, NE - Officers trying to find a suspect in a sexual assault were thwarted for a while by a stubborn pit bull.
Police officers executing a no-knock search warrant near 33rd and Forest Lawn Avenue noticed a garage door partially open. As police approached, the suspect reportedly opened the door suddenly and a pit bull ran out, charging an officer. Police reports say he attacked "in a vicious manner, growling, showing teeth." The officer shot the dog in the head, causing him to stagger and collapse.
As officers arrested the suspect and tried to enter the house, the pit bull "raised up" and charged the police again. A second officer fired two shots, hitting the dog in his upper back and right rib area. The dog "fell slightly" but then charged the officers a third time.
The suspect--Aaron Sheperd--is in jail on a $5 million bond for sexually assaulting and viciously beating a young woman last week.

Hard to believe unless it only grazed his head.
What are the charges?

These type of news articles are so surprising.
Another example of the failure of 9mm. Should have used a .45 ACP. Shoosh, silly policemen.
I was joking—I was referring to the charges that the pitbull brought against the officers.
My neighbor is a cop. They were serving a warrant on a known drug dealers house a few months ago. A pit bull charged them & he shot it 4 times with a 40 cal. The dog dropped & they went inside to clear the house. When they came back out, the dog was gone. They found him dead in the road about a 1/2 mile away.
yup. a single .45 slug would have stopped that pitbull dead on it’s tracks, or paws in this case.
Poor dog.
OH SORRY got right by me, obviously!
It’s not easy being a cop.
Better to have a shotgun slug instead!
More time on the firing range and no checks for this week.
Gross failure to train and prepare, shooting a dog and wasting the meat.

Surely, if this fine upstanding citizen had owned a Mastiff, Great Dane, German Shepher or Labradoodle, this story would have been nothing but unicorns and double rainbows all the way!
You're just a clown at this point, no different from the libs who want to take my gun away because a moron criminal holds up a convenience store or leaves a gun lying where some kid can get it and blow their brains out.
Let me guess....
9mm?
Not sure about that round anymore.
