NE: Man Shoots Pit Bull that Attacked Neighbor

The incident occurred about 4:45 p.m. near 83rd and Manderson Streets, according to a police report. Patricia Garber, 59, told police that she was using a stick to get her son's 2-year-old pit bull, Crucifix, into the house when the dog latched onto her right hand and wouldn't let go.

A neighbor, Dave Kovar, 39, heard Garber yelling for help and tried to get the dog to let go of Garber. When it wouldn't, Kovar went into his house to retrieve a .22-caliber handgun and call 911.

When Kovar returned, according to a police report, Garber yelled for Kovar to "just shoot him." Kovar fired one round through a chain-link fence, striking the dog in the back of the head and killing it.
