PALMDALE – A pit bull that attacked<\/a> at least two other dogs and threatened to charge a sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed in Palmdale Thursday afternoon, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Deputies responded about 3:15 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, to the 9400 block of East Avenue Q-4 and located a boy with blood on the front of his shirt, according to Lt. Derrick Ballentine of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Palmdale Station.<\/p>\n

An investigation determined the boy’s pit bull<\/a> had gotten loose and attacked at least one other dog in the neighborhood, Ballentine said.<\/p>\n

A deputy was informed the pit bull was last seen running eastbound on East Avenue Q-4. The deputy located the pit bull a short time later attacking another dog, Ballentine said.<\/p>\n

As the deputy exited his vehicle, the owners of the dog being attacked arrived at the scene and one of the owners threw a rock that struck the pit bull and ended the attack on the other dog, Ballentine said.<\/p>\n

The pit bull then charged the deputy and was shot and killed, he said.<\/p>\n

The blood on the boy’s shirt was later determined to have been from another dog that had been attacked, Ballentine said.<\/p>\n

Two dogs that were attacked and badly injured by the pit bull were taken by animal control officers to be euthanized, sources at the scene said.<\/p>\n
