Cobb Police: Officer Shot Dog that Charged Him

On Monday evening, a Cobb County police officer fatally shot a dog that charged at him, according to Sgt. Eric Smith of the Cobb Police Department. Around 8:40 p.m., two officers responded to a call near Macland Road, where a voice was heard shouting for help. The call, made from a 911-only cell phone, lacked further details, complicating follow-up efforts. The officers' investigation led them to a nearby residence. While speaking with the homeowners, their dogs exited the house. Despite attempts to restrain them, one dog ran toward the officers. Perceiving the dog's actions as a potential threat, the officer discharged his weapon, resulting in the dog's death. Sgt. Smith acknowledged the emotional impact of such incidents and confirmed that an internal review would be conducted to assess the situation.
