According to Kenosha Police Sgt. Jeff Galley, Kenosha Police officers had little choice but to shoot and kill two vicious German Shepherd dogs this morning. According to Galley, the two dogs severely attacked a man in the 7300 block of 23rd Ave at 7:30 am this morning. The man sustained substantial injuries to his lower leg. The dogs were reported to be highly aggressive and were seen charging numerous people, vehicles, and officers. The dogs then ran east on 75th St and north on Sheridan Rd. Galley said the two dogs represented a “clear and present danger” to area residents and children making their way to Grewenow School. Police tried for about a half hour to locate the dogs’ owners and or contain the dogs.
“One of the dogs was shot on 9th Ave near 69th Street. The second dog was shot in the 700 block of 69th. Neither survived. The dogs’ owner was eventually found and notified. Appropriate citations to the owner will be forthcoming by our CSOs,” said Sgt. Galley.
Much of the dogs’ behavior was caught on Officers’ body-worn cameras.

Blame the owners, not the dogs.
Doesn’t make any difference when it comes time to face the attacking dog, and they’re not allowed to shoot the owners, anyway.
Maybe they should be.
First we’d have to change the state constitution since we don’t allow capital punishment.
Good riddance to some terrible animals. We are living in crazy times. There’s even some so called “Christians” that value the life of a dog more than their fellow humans. It’s so pathetic.
Christians are forgiven, not perfect.
I’d like to know who the owner is.
There are a couple of pitbulls that have been posted on Nextdoor.com viciously running after neighbors during the summer 2022, but nothing has been done about it. It’s all on video in Kenosha. The owners haven’t been held accountable. It’s the way the owners have trained the dogs. I have nothing against Pitbulls, I do have something against the owners though!
Definitely the owners fault? why would you train them to be aggressive! I hope a nice lawsuit & huge fine! Do us all a favor & don’t have any more animals!
These types of things become more common as empires fail.
Good gracious, I’m sure there is someone who would volunteer to proofread these articles.
Jus sayin.
If Sgt. Jeff Galley can sleep at night, good for him!
Sgt. Dogkiller maybe gets a medal of Honor for his bravery.
If they were a danger to grewenow students why did they let them make it all the way to allendale?
How about you go try catching two vicious dogs that run through yards and everything else and try to keep track of them!! Dumb ass!!
Glad they were shot! There is mo room in this world for dogs that people train to be vicious!! Too bad the police couldn’t have shot the owner too!!
