Glendale police shot and killed two pit bulls Monday after the dogs tried to attack a boy and the officers.
Police responded to a dog attack call in the neighborhood near 71st and Orangewood avenues at about 4 p.m. Residents said that the dogs had been chasing a juvenile on a bicycle.
Once on the scene, officers found the dogs to be similarly aggressive and shot them out of self defense, said Detective Mark Lankford, a spokesman for Glendale police. One of the dogs was run over. "The dog survived (being run down) and was still aggressive, so he (the officer) got out and shot it," Lankford said. Lankford said the owner of the dogs has previously been cited for letting the animals loose.
