A dog is dead and his owner is in the hospital after at tragic incident in Meridian.

 

It happened about 5:45 last night along North Meridian Road and West Chrisfield Drive.

 

According to KTVB, a man was walking his basset hound when he came upon a woman and her pit bull. The pit bull broke free and charged at the man and his basset hound.

 

This is when the man with the basset hound pulled out his gun, shot the pit bull dead and in a freak accident that bullet went through the dog and into the woman's stomach!

 

The woman was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. So far charges have not been pressed against the man who fired the shot.

 

What do you think about how this situation was handled? Did the man have the right to pull out his gun and kill the pit bull? Should he be arrested? We want to hear your opinion.
