COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Colorado Springs police shot and killed a dog in the bathroom of a home while searching for a man suspected of escape.
Deanna Gonzales says she was showering when she heard the shot fired Friday, inches from her.
Police Sgt. Tim Hogan says officers were at the home responding to a tip that 28-year-old Francisco Aragon, who is wanted on felony and misdemeanor charges, might be there.
Gonzales says her children let officers into the house.
Police say when they opened the bathroom door, the Labrador-pit bull bit an officer on the right wrist. Police say the dog retreated then came back at the officers when a second officer shot it.
Aragon was not at the home. Gonzales says she doesn’t know him.
