Three women were bitten by a group of pit bulls that started fighting at their NJ home Tuesday, drawing an emergency response that ended with two of the dogs shot by police, a top local official says.
Five dogs had been fighting at the Amity Street home in Elizabeth when someone tried to separate them, according to the city's mayor, Chris Bollwage. That's when the mixed breed dogs turned on the mother and her two daughters, a 24-year-old and a 30-year-old.
Someone managed to call police and responding officers shot two of the five dogs, killing a mother and one of her pups. The other three were taken away by animal control; there was no word from the city yet on what would happen to the dogs brought to the shelter.Get Philly local news, weather forecasts, sports and entertainment stories to your inbox."We don't want nobody to be hurt by dogs.
Another neighbor, who works at a doggie day care, said the dogs were aggressive in their gated alleyway. "You walk past them and they’re outside, they will let you know. They will say high, but not in the nicest way," said Katie McGrory.
