I read several newspaper accounts which seemed to downplay the neighbors saving the women by shooting the dogs. But this story tells the whole story.

Dalson remained hospitalized Saturday, reportedly facing some paralysis because of the attack, which could end her career as a dental hygienist.

Not a good ad for Walther, is it. Wonder what the second guy was carrying?

Looks like I'm in before the pitbull lovers.

the two others - which are pit bull - mastiff mixes

Well, A PPK 380, Gary Paquet was under gunned, and it took John Bettencourt, with an unidentified handgun to close the engagement.

The leftie gun controllers and police brass will be very quiet on this one, even though they'd like to see Paquet and Bettencourt in jail, and PETA would like to see the women dead but the dogs unharmed.

The MSM can't color this one as bad black guns going around killing little kids.

Not surprising for Bay Area "news"papers.

Tough situation. Multiple targets, very little time. A large caliber round in the ear has been known to achieve the desired result. A shotgun works better, but under stress everything changes (hand to eye coordination, depth perception, ect.). They were fortunate.

I wouldn’t care who owned what vicious breed if they properly trained, caged, and restrained them. But they don’t. They don’t believe their dogs could ever be dangerous, they won’t put the time and money into buying and building sufficient enclosures designed for their animals. They don’t investigate or accept aggression statistics for their dogs and they won’t seek professional training on how to handle such dogs. They won’t put muzzles on them when they take them for a walk because their dogs have not bitten THEM and they feel uncomfortable by the attention a muzzled dog (and their owner) receives. Reminds me of the 110lb woman who was walking her 2 dogs (combined weight 240lbs) when her dogs attacked and killed a neighbor. If owners handled these issues, we would not read of dogs killing or maiming people as often as we do.
