Seven dogs attacked a woman in northwest Charlotte on Wednesday, and a Mecklenburg County deputy shot and killed one of them.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Care & Control said the woman was outside her home on Claiborne Woods Road, off Mt. Holly-Huntersville Road, on Wednesday morning when the pit bull-type dogs attacked. WSOC reported that three others were injured.
Six other dogs were captured, and one was shocked with a taser. The dog that was killed was submitted for a postmortem exam and rabies testing. The others were taken to the main shelter facility on Byrum Drive.
The circumstances are under investigation, and no charges have been filed as police continue to look for the owner.
