The neighbor grabbed his crossbow and fired, striking one of the pit bulls in the scruff of the neck, Harrington said. The arrow then went through a closed door and hit the victim while he was trying to barricade himself from the dogs, Harrington said.Meanwhile, the dogs kept fighting, Harrington said.Police had received multiple 911 calls about the ongoing pit bull attack.
The animals then"came at" the officers, Harrington said, so the police used their weapons"to neutralize" them, prosecutors said. Both dogs were killed by police, prosecutors said. The death of the resident -- identified as 27-year-old Joshua Jadusingh -- appears accidental, prosecutors said.Both dogs -- adult males -- lived at the victim's home, prosecutors said.
The neighbor has a license for the crossbow, which he uses for hunting, said Harrington, who called the man a good Samaritan. He's “very distraught” and was good friends with the victim, she added.
