A police officer was taken to the hospital with severe injuries after reportedly being attacked by a dog.
Hopkinsville Police said the officer attempted to bring two dogs that had been walking around the neighborhood back to their home at the intersection of West 2nd Street and South Cleveland Avenue when one of them suddenly attacked.
The officer then shot at the dog several times, killing it.
The home where the dogs live does have “Beware of the Dog” signs posted, but police said they had been running throughout the area.
The officer had to be rushed to an area hospital. He reportedly has severe injuries to his hand. Police said the officer is doing okay as of Sunday morning.
At this time, there are no other details about possible charges the dog owner could face.
Police said the dog that attacked appeared to be a pit bull mix.
