Dog attacks, kills owner inside apartment

CINCINNATI – A large dog attacked and killed its owner inside his apartment, police said.

Cincinnati police said they aren’t sure yet what breed the dog was, other than it was a big dog.

The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/PQkadm) reported police said they shot and killed the dog because it reacted aggressively to firefighters who were trying to reach the man early Wednesday.

Police believe the attack occurred around 2 a.m. No other details were available immediately.

Ohio has a new law aimed at cracking down on “vicious,” “dangerous” and other aggressive dogs.
