A confrontation with a pair of unleashed dogs led to a police officer firing their weapon.
Last night around 7:30 p.m., the Moose Jaw Police Service responded to an impaired driving complaint. During this time, they encountered two unleashed dogs on Ninth Ave. S.W.
The dogs entered a yard in the area they did not belong in. The police entered the yard in an attempt to contain the dogs. One officer was confronted by one of the dogs, which resulted in the officer discharging his firearm in order to stop the attack.
Both dogs were then contained, with the assistance of the Moose Jaw Humane Society and the dogs' owner.
Police say one dog did receive minor injuries. The dog was turned over to the care of its owner.
No members of the public or police were injured during the incident.
