Provincial police say concerns over officers' safety prompted them to shoot and kill a dog while responding to a disturbance in Bracebridge.
Officers were dispatched to a Manitoba Street motel at around 9 p.m. Monday where police say two large, bullmastiff-type dogs attacked them.
Police were able to stop one of the dogs with a conducted energy weapon (CEW). Police shot the second dog after "multiple" attempts to use the CEW failed.
No officers were injured in the confrontation.
A Brockton man faces charges of mischief and causing a disturbance.
