Neighbors shoot trio of dogs as they attack three joggers in Fairfield CA

[RamboLiberal]

A 52-year-old woman was jogging in the 600 block of Pavilion Drive at about 6 a.m. when she was attacked by three dogs, a bull mastiff, a pit bull-bull mastiff mix and an American bulldog, police said.

One neighbor, in an attempt to save the woman's life, shot the bull mastiff, causing the dog to release its grip on the woman, police said.

The other two dogs then ran down the street toward two other women jogging in the area. One of the joggers, a 34-year-old woman, tripped as she was fleeing from the dogs.

As the dogs began to attack the fallen woman, a second neighbor shot at both animals, striking them each in the leg, police said.

3. You left out the part where...

What "IF" one of those Tea-Bagging, pistol-packing, racist gun-lovers had missed and hit a 3 year-old in the park?...
What "IF" one of those Tea-Bagging, pistol-packing, racist gun-lovers had missed and hit a bus load of nuns?...
What "IF" one of those Tea-Bagging, pistol-packing, racist gun-lovers had missed and hit whatever, etc?...
What "IF" their 4 year old son had found that gun that was so apparently easy to access and brought it to school and killed other children?

These people are like 22% more likely to kill an innocent or themselves instead of defending them self or others.

These people who decide to take their guns and inflict them onto the community are the very reason for the decline of our society... They probably voted for McCain...

Lots'a :sarcasm:

6. Sorry about the previous link not working

Better details from TV station link.

“Course she was screaming and begging for help. You know, ‘please help me,’” said responding neighbor Gary Paquet, who choked up while describing what he witnessed. “They actually had her body up off the ground, and they were trying to rend her apart.”

Fortunately, Paquet came out of his house armed with his Walther PPK Handgun.

“Lead dog came up, and I shot him in the head. And he just dropped right there,” said Paquet.

But as the other two dogs continued their assault, Paquet's gun jammed. Just then, two other women came running up the street and the two dogs went after them. One of the women was pregnant.

-----

Neighbor John Bettencourt also came outside armed with a handgun, and shot the two dogs before they could seriously hurt the pregnant woman.

7. That's why I never carry a PPK...

Sure it always worked for James Bond... But damn those things are fussy about what kind of ammo you feed them.

9. Not one but two neighbors (at least) were armed & stopped this attack...

Two-legged attackers may wish to take note.
