Dog attacks family, killed by police
Anne Arundel County police shot and killed what they described as a pit bull after the dog ran into an Edgewater, Maryland home and bit a couple and their teenage son.
Officer said a man was walking into his home Tuesday evening when a pit bull ran up and bit him on the face, then ran into the house. The dog bit the man’s wife and his 19-year-old son, the Baltimore Sun reports. The man suffered severe injuries to his face and his wife and son suffered minor injuries, police said.
An officer who came to the house shot the dog to protect himself and the victims, police said. The dog’s owner, Karim Abdalla, was charged with having an animal that poses a threat to public safety and allowing an animal to run free, police said.

Perhaps the Police and others should stop guessing.

[quote]Court Rules Miami-Dade County Pit Bull Ban Unenforceable
A court ruled Miami-Dade’s 20 year ban on pit bulls was too vague in defining “pit bull” and unfairly let animal control officers basically guess whether a dog is a pit bull.[/quote]
No wonder the Public has such a distorted skewed view.
A correction(if it ever came) would never undo the damage of these types of stories.
The Media is killing these dogs off one story at a time.
