A leisurely Saturday afternoon in the park quickly mutated into a real-life horror scene when three pit bulls attacked a man and his German shepherd without warning, police said.
During the unprovoked attack, the man pulled out his concealed weapon and opened fire, hitting one of the pit bulls and scaring off the others.
"If I didn't have my gun - I'd be dead right now," he later told KOMO News.
"It was an instant decision. It's not something I wanted to do. I love animals."
Kirkland police Sgt. Rob Saloum said the violent drama unfolded Saturday as a local man was playing catch with his 3-year-old German shepherd across from Juanita Bay Park, in the 9700 block of NE Juanita Drive.
At the same time, another man was there with his three unleashed pit bulls.

It tastes like chicken, but with a different texture. I’d eat it all the time if I could!
Oh wow! I never thought of that, thanks.
I don’t want to link to the article or read the whole thread. Can someone tell me what kind of handgun of what caliber this guy was armed with? Seems to me that [fill in your choice of a typical pocket gun] might just piss ‘em off more.
Wasp spray for self defense is a bad idea. It is a myth! Stick with the Pepper Spray. Wasp spray is unproven and has never been tested on humans. Wasp Spray will NOT work on those who cannot feel pain i.e. drugs or alcohol. Pepper Spray is an inflammatory which will cause the eyes to slam shut no matter the situation. Thats why over 40,000 law enforcement agencies carry it nationwide and even the smallest canisters will fire 10 ft while the larger canisters will fire 25 to 30 ft.
