IL: Loose Pit Bull Mix Shot, Wounded

Owners are responsible for the action of their dogs. 

The couple then reported the dog was aggressively barking and was attempting to bite the man.

Initially, the dog’s caretaker was able to lure the pit bull back across the street with “commands and treats,” but it later returned to “acting aggressively” toward the pair.

The woman told police she fired a “warning shot” at the ground in an attempt to deter the dog’s aggression, and, when that did not work, she shot the dog in the shoulder.
