VT: Off Duty Officer Shoots Pit Bull Attacking his Dog

Lamotte said Scelza saw the fight and tried to break up the dogs, but wasn’t strong enough.

“He had the pit bull in his arms and was punching and kicking the pit bull,” she said.

That’s when Lamotte began gathering her daughter and dog to head for their car. They only made it a few feet before they heard gunshots, she said.

“(Scelza) still had the dog in his arms and he was firing at the ground,” she said. “He was shooting right next to the picnic table.”
