Long Beach police shoot dog four times on his own property

90lbs is pretty big for a pit bull, but hey don't let that stop you from calling a big dog a pit bull.

Anyway, Long Beach police were getting their suspect chase on - reports stated there was a random guy running around with a knife. Not knifing anyone, just clearly a bit unstable.

Police responded and then were all hey let's go into this person's yard! So they go into this person's yard and are all holy crap, there is a dog here! and respond to the dog's presence by shooting him four times!

Update on Long Beach dog shot on her driveway

Updated news story here.

Owners of dog don't fault the officer for shooting their dog. It was the first time she had gotten out, she was utd on all her shots and license. Animal control did not fine or charge the owners, presumably because the dog was actually on her own property but I'm not sure.

I still would like to know what those less lethal methods were!

Anyway, the dog is doing quite fine and looks like a happy perdy lady.
