MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A Minot police officer shot and killed a dog that authorities say was aggressive toward the officer.
Two officers were investigating a suspicious vehicle parked behind a bar shortly before midnight Tuesday when authorities say a German shepherd lunged at one of the officers, who shot and killed it. Neither officer was hurt.
The occupant of the vehicle was arrested on an outstanding warrant and on charges including giving false information to police and having a vicious animal.
The police department is reviewing the shooting in accordance with its policy on use of force.
