If this is on the local news you gotta let us know where we can go to read about this (maybe a newspaper's or news affiliate's site).

I haven't seen anything on the local news websites yet. If I see anything, I'll pass it along.

When I was a kid, there was a similiar situation in my neighborhood...not with the guy shooting the dog...but with dumbass neighbors who owned a couple of very mean spirited pit bulls that regularly got loose.
One early morning I was walking to start my paper route and one of them came up and started barking and looking like he was ready to attack. I had my paper cart, which is a solid iron frame with wheels....thank god I hadn't picked up my papers yet....That dog lunged at me and I swung that cart and cracked him right in the skull. The owners lived one block over, and when I came home and told my parents what happened my dad went over there and we could hear him yelling at them from the next block. We called the cops and cause no one got hurt they said they couldn't do anything. Two weeks later the dogs got out again and bit a mail man and then killed our next door neighbor's dog. They took the dogs and put them to sleep.
I just don't understand why people keep these kind of dogs...

The key part "noone was hurt so they couldn't do anything" is the reason vicious dog ordinances are being implemented all over the place. I don't think it is asking too much for owners of "vicious dogs" to follow a few safety precautions. It also gives police at least some kind of juristiction when these dogs get loose.

please keep us updated on what happens with your neighbor...

If memory serves there have been 2 threads in the last few months dealing with pit bulls and I really don't think we need a third!

agreed, we know most everybody's stance on pitbulls from the other thread... keep that debate to those threads instead of ---smurfing--- up this thread too....

Tommy, would you feel the same if people walked around with Tigers, or bears, or any other wild beast? Why so protective just because a particular animal falls into the "dog" category?
