IL: Dog Owner Shoots two Dogs to Stop Attack on 13-Year-Old Girl

CHICAGO -- Two dogs that attacked a 13-year-old girl Monday afternoon died after being shot by their owner in Englewood on the South Side.

The girl was taking out the trash in an alley in the 7300 block of South Winchester Avenue when the dogs ran out from the neighboring garage and began biting her, Chicago police spokeswoman Sally Bown said in an email.

The dogs' caretaker then came outside at 4:40 p.m. and shot both dogs, Bown said. One dog died at the scene, while the other was taken by Chicago Animal Care and Control.
