Pit Bull in San Francisco Dies After Child Accidentally Calls 911

It started with a child playing with a phone and ended with a dead 11-year-old dog. KGO
reports on the unfortunate chain of events last night in San Francisco.
A child apparently called 911, and officers were sent to the family's
Bayview home. The family says their pit bull growled upon seeing the two
officers, who entered via a side alley; Zoey then bit one of the
officer's hands, and "he starts shooting, boom, boom, boom and when he
got done shooting, he shot like six times," a witness tells KGO.


What
bugs the family, who may sue: that they weren't given a chance to
wrangle their dog. "We did say 'stop, we'll get her,'" says Madonna
Stancil. "They didn't give us the chance." It's unclear if the family
asked to get the dog before or after the bites, which they don't
dispute.
