Teen is fatally shot by L.A. County deputies in pit bull attack on officers
L A Times ^ | 06/2/2017 | MayaLau and Joseph Serna

The 17-year-old was struck in the chest as he tried to jump on the dog, said the memo, a copy of which was reviewed by The Times. A deputy who had been bitten by the animal was also struck by a bullet fragment in the shooting.

...

Authorities said the deputies had gone to a home in the 38500 block of 10th Street East around 3:40 a.m. in response to a call about a loud party. As they arrived, a pit bull charged at them and bit one of the deputies in the leg...

The teenager, who was the owner of the dog, tied up the animal to prevent it from attacking again. Meanwhile, the memo said, the deputies retreated from the home to call for a sergeant, who arrived and checked on the bitten deputy’s injuries.

At some point, the pit bull broke free and charged at the deputies again. Two deputies shot at the pit bull “while the dog owner simultaneously tried to jump onto the dog to stop it from attacking deputy personnel,” the memo said. The teen died later at Antelope Valley Hospital.

The deputy who had been bitten by the animal was struck by a bullet fragment in the ankle area, the memo said. He was treated at another local hospital and was listed in stable condition. The dog was shot but survived, the memo said.

Not mentioned in the article is that LASD believes both the officer and the decedent were struck by ricochets off the cement driveway.

Get more range time in than the minimum and you won't have incidents like this.

The dog was shot but survived...

All men are not created equal. Husband would take out the dog with his fist. If necessary. Most dogs fall at his feet.

Good for LASD. Pitbulls should be shot.

Remember antidemoncrats formula:
1 pit bull + 1 9mm = problem solved

Yeah, but the dog survived, and the human owner died.

Very sad story. Prayers up.

“the pit bull”

Kept on a chain, three legs, one eye, docked tail, beaten regularly, survived.
His name was `Lucky’.

I stopped going to the range. Too many of these women and their bitchy kids, clogging the stalls, plunking stationary cardboard targets, the women dressed really hot to distract the male shooters and to get the attention of the range officers. Same ol shit different day, as soon as women “invade” what had been a traditional male enclave, they turn the whole thing into a sex contest that’s all about THEM zeroing in on one more “guy” to land and ensnare and to cuckold. Has nothing to do with personal protection, except maybe the rubber kind.

Go ahead flame away. I’m ready with the asbestos suit.

I WISH the women at my club were hot enough to dress that way.

Nothing but obese grannies sweeping everybody on the line.
