Man reports being attacked by pit bulls
A man reported being attacked by two pit bulls at his Wadsworth Street home last week.
According to a Rome Police Department report:
The man told officers that he had just pulled into his driveway when after getting off of work.
When he got out of his truck, the two dogs ran at him and attempted to attack him.
The man pulled out his gun and shot at the dogs, which fled to a neighbor’s yard, where they came from.
The neighbor told police he had taken possession of the dogs when his father who is the owner was arrested a couple of weeks ago.
One of the pit bulls was bleeding from the paw but otherwise, it seemed okay.
