Three Enid residents faced unexpected violence yesterday morning when two dogs attacked them on West Wallace, resulting in injuries for each individual. Enid News reported that the attack occurred at around 10:37 a.m. in the 1400 block, and the Enid Police Department responded to the scene where two dogs were running at large and had caused harm.
The victims, identified as a 36-year-old woman, a 48-year-old man, and a 24-year-old woman, encountered the canines in an event that forced one of them to seek hospital treatment; OKC FOX reports the younger woman was treated at a local hospital while the others declined medical care.
One of the dogs turned its aggression towards an officer, prompting lethal action to be taken – the dog was shot and killed at the scene to prevent further harm, as per the Enid News release. The second dog managed to escape, whereabouts were currently unknown, adding to the public's concern over the possibility of another such incident.
Authorities have ticketed the owner of the dogs, according to KFOR, although details about the citations and the implications for the pet owner haven’t been divulged.
