Police say they seized two children, arrested three people and shot a dog while executing drug warrants at two houses Wednesday morning. During one of the raids at a home in the 2300 block of 19th Street S.W., a pit bull-type dog lunged at a tactical officer and bit him on the left arm. Officers tried to get the dog off and when they couldn't, shot it. "This is highly unusual that a dog would attack a police officer, let alone a tac-team member doing a dynamic entry." "The officer who had it latched onto his arm tried to pull away and the dog had locked its jaw," said Deputy Chief Ray Robitaille.
