The caller, a 36-year-old man, told police he had shot two dogs in his front yard that had been attacking his cat in his yard.

The man had gotten his gun to try to scare off the dogs, but they began to get aggressive toward the man, police said.

The man then fired at the dogs, killing them. His cat was killed as a result of the injuries from the dogs.

Animal Care Services was called to the location, and the dog’s owner was notified about the attack. However, no arrests or charges were made at the scene.

On Thursday, ACS officials said the dogs’ owner was issued three criminal citations. One citation was issued for the dogs being off their property, another for the dogs attacking the cat and a third for failing to provide proof of current rabies vaccinations.
