A dog fight in Beaumont ended with injuries and a shooting.
Around ten Tuesday morning police were called to the 900 block of Heather. Officers say a pit bulldog got loose in the neighborhood, got into a neighbor's backyard and ended up getting into a fight with a German Shepherd. The 23 year old owner of the pit bull tried to break up the dog fight.
The German Shepherd ended up biting the 23 year old, breaking his arm and puncturing an artery. The man got away and called police. When officers arrived the dogs were still fighting. Both dogs were taken away by animal control for treatment.
Police say they had to shoot the pit bulldog to end the fight.
"He didn't want to. It's never a good deal. You can't just let something continue and let somebody's animal be destroyed," said Sgt. Mike Wickland.
