When a police officer was called to a neighborhood dispute in a residential building in Dornbirn (Vorarlberg) on Sunday evening, the officers attacked a German shepherd. The animal bit the officer in the thigh, so that he only had to grab the gun.
A police officer was seriously injured during an operation in an apartment in Dornbirn on Sunday around 7 p.m. A German shepherd was housed in an adjacent room during the official act. But suddenly the animal opened the door and immediately attacked one of the two officers. The shepherd bit the police officer’s thigh with great aggression.
The dog owners made no attempt to recall or otherwise control the animal, so the second officer took out his service weapon and fired two shots into the German Shepherd, which eventually fell to the ground, dead. The police officer saw this as the only way to prevent his colleague from being more seriously injured.
Complaint against dog owners
The two dog owners are now being investigated. Despite repeated requests to restrain or pull back the dog, they did nothing. After receiving first aid on the scene from his colleague, the injured police officer had to be treated in hospital. After receiving outpatient care, the injured man was released from hospital after a few hours.
