CLINTON, Utah (ABC4) — Two were injured after an alleged dog attack in Clinton today, according to the Clinton City Police Department on social media.
On Sunday, Nov. 5, Clinton police were dispatched to reports of an animal attack near 1700 North and 950 West. Three dogs were reportedly actively attacking residents in the area, according to Clinton police.
Before police arrived, one of the victims reportedly discharged his firearm toward two of the dogs, killing one. The other two dogs were uninjured and ran off, according to Clinton police.
