Police Wednesday shot and killed one of two dogs that attacked and critically injured their owner in the Harbor Gateway area of Los Angeles.
Officers went to the 1600 block of West 216th Street, near Western Avenue and the border with Torrance, shortly before noon to investigate a report of a woman being bitten by two dogs, according to Los Angeles police Officer Irma Mota.
The woman, whose name was not released, was rushed to a hospital. No officers were injured, Mota said.
The second dog was tracked down and was in the custody of animal control officers, police said.
Mota said the dog was of a “large breed,” and neighbors told Fox11 that it was a cane corso, also known as an Italian mastiff.
