From a story I read in the Indianapolis Start (exerpt)
Police shot and killed two pit bulls they said attacked an Indiana State trooper on the Westside Wednesday.
The trooper, Eric Streeval, had shot and wounded one of the dogs in the 6500 block of Pierson Drive near the Indianapolis International Airport at about 1 p.m. But police said the dog remained aggressive, even while hurt, and charged Airport Police Officer Robert Engel, who had responded to Streeval's call for assistance.
Engel said in a police report he shot the wounded dog when it charged him. He said after he shot the dog it attacked another police officer at the scene. That officer and Streeval fired several more shots at the dog to kill it. In the meantime, another airport police officer found the other dog cornered, and fatally shot that one, too.
On Tuesday, an IMPD officer shot and killed a charging pit bull in the 3900 block of Graceland Avenue.
