Qld; Police shoot dead vicious pit bull terrier
A police officer shot and killed a vicious pit-bull terrier after the dog tried to
attack him as he went to the aid of a woman in north Queensland last night.
Cairns police say ambulance officers were called to a house in the Cairns suburb of
Machans Beach, where a woman reported her arm had been mauled by the pit-bull.
The ambulance officers were unable to get into the house past the dog, which was foaming
at the mouth, and called in the police, the RSPCA and city council dog handlers.
A woman, believed to be a relative of the dog's owners, has been taken to hospital.
