MI: 68-Year-Old Victim Fires Gun to Stop Dog Attack

However, witnesses reported hearing a gunshot. Police confirm that a gun was fired, but not by a police officer.

“The victim is a licensed gun owner who had his gun with him,” Zalewski said. “He fired his gun into the ground to scare them off.”

Zalewski said shooting the gun did succeed in getting the dogs to stop attacking.

When the reporting officer arrived he said a detective and a command officer were already at the scene, trying to get the dogs away from the victim. They were circling the injured man and made several charges at officers, displaying their teeth and growling.
