KOKOMO, Ind. — A police officer used a shotgun to kill two pit bulls that attacked children in a park in Kokomo.

Authorities and witnesses say the dogs, one brindle and one black, attacked at least two children — a girl on a bicycle and an 11-year-old boy — Tuesday in Highland Park.

Neither child was seriously injured.

The dogs also attacked a Chihuahua.

The Kokomo Tribune reports that the dogs also tried to attack police Officer Ty Solomon before he shot them with a 12-gauge shotgun.

John Beechy, whose daughter was attacked, says the dogs were not on leashes and no one knew who owned them.
