Out of Washington state:

Two pit bull terriers broke into a house through a pet door Tuesday and attacked a woman in her bed, mauling her badly, a Pierce County sheriff's spokesman said.

The woman was able to grab a gun and try to shoot the dogs, then break away from the attack and lock herself in her car, where she called 911, sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said.

[...]

Officers planned to talk to the dogs' owner.
Ya think?
Firefighters responded first, locking the dogs in the house, treating the woman and calling for an ambulance.

Officers "had to pepper spray and fight the dogs until they were detained. We almost had to shoot them on site," Troyer said.
Why not pull out the 12 gauge and get rid of them? What is the deal? They maul a lady, kill other animals, then the cops have to pepper spray them? Give me a break.
