report: u.s. police and citizen shootings of pit bulls 2008 by dogsbite.org
DESCRIPTION
Summary: To evaluate the numerous U.S. media reports on pit bulls and their mixes shot for public safety reasons, DogsBite.org and contributor David Monroe recorded these incidences over the 12-month period of 2008. The 20-page report documents 373 incidences that involved dangerous pit bulls shot by U.S. law enforcement officers and citizens. The report tracked 12 data aspects per incident. Of the tracked incidences, 626 bullets were fired and 319 pit bulls were killed. 148 people suffered bite injury in these incidences as well. In at least three instances, the bite injury resulted in amputation. In six instances, the bite injury resulted in death. The findings also show that firearm intervention may have prevented at least eight deaths by a pit bull mauling.Information for this report was gathered through online media sources at the time of the shooting. Through the combination of Google News Alerts and web searches, 373 cited incidences are documented in this report. Additional information about the data collection process and how to access the related source documentation is located on page III.About DogsBite.orgDogsBite.org is a national dog bite victims group dedicated to reducing serious dog attacks by creating common sense laws. Through our work, we hope to protect both people and pets from future attacks. Our website, www.dogsbite.org, launched in October 2007 and contains a wide collection of data to help policymakers and citizens learn about dangerous dogs. Our research focuses on pit bull type dogs. Due to selective breeding practices that emphasize aggression and tenacity, this class of dogs negatively impacts communities the most. Our website hosts important dog bite studies, U.S. dog bite fatalities and other key bibliographies. In the Legislating Dogs portion of our site, we offer examples of breed-specific laws (state-by-state) and documentation of the constitutionality of these laws. The Victim Realities section provides a glance into the unforgettable stories victims leave behind and much more.

Report: U.S. Police and Citizen Shootings of Pit Bulls 2008 by DogsBite.org | June 1, 2009

Report: U.S. Police and Citizen Shootings of Pit Bulls 2008
Objectives: 1.) Demonstrate the number of
U.S. media reports within a 12-month period
of law enforcement officers and citizens that
were forced to shoot a dangerous pit bull to
prevent an attack or to stop an ongoing
attack. 2.) Track 12 parameters per incident
and evaluate the findings.
Methods: Information for the 12-month
report was gathered through online media
sources at the time of the shooting. Through
the combination of Google News Alerts and
web searches, 373 cited incidences are
documented in this report. Each of the
incidences met the following criteria: 1.) The
dog was identified in the news article as a pit
bull or pit bull-mix; 2.) The dog had behaved
in a threatening manner or had attacked a
law enforcement officer or citizen. Excluded
were incidences of "criminals" shooting pit
bulls, such as a gang member or drug
dealer, during a criminal act.
Tracked Data: The following information
was recorded for each incident: 1.) Date
2.) City 3.) State; and the number of:
4.) Shots fired 5.) Pit bulls killed 6.) Law
enforcement shooters, "police fire" 7.)
Citizen shooters, "citizen fire" 8.) Bite injuries
9.) Bullet injuries 10.) Police victims 11.)
Citizen victims 12.) Incidences that resulted
in death by a pit bull mauling, "fatal attack."
Results: In the 12-month period, 373
incidences were recorded that involved pit
bulls and their mixes shot for public safety
reasons by U.S. law enforcement officers
and citizens. Of the total number of
incidences, 626 bullets were fired and 319
pit bulls were killed. The vast majority of
shooters, 84% (313), were law enforcement
officers and 16% (60), were citizens.
148 people suffered pit bull bite injury in
these incidences. Of these victims, 81%
(120) were citizens and 19% (28) were law
enforcement officers. In six of these
occurrences, the bite injury resulted in death
including: Isis Krieger, 6 (Anchorage, AK),
Kelli Chapman, 24 (Longville, LA), Luna
McDaniel, 83 (Ville Platte, LA) Cenedi
Carey, 4 months (Las Vegas, NV) Tanner
Monk, 7, (Breckenridge, TX) and Pablo
Lopez Hernandez, 5, (Weslaco, TX).
13 people suffered bullet injury as well.
Of these victims, 54% (7) were citizens and
46% (6) were law enforcement officers.
States with the highest number of shootings
included: California (37), Texas (32), Florida
(24), Illinois (23) and Ohio (23).
Discussion: Interpreting further data from
this report may be impractical, but the
intervention by firearms most likely
prevented additional deaths by a pit bull
mauling. Despite being regulated in over 230
U.S. cities and the whole state of Ohio, there
were at least eight instances in which gunfire
stopped a violent pit bull attack that
otherwise may have led to death. These
instances include the following victims:1
Catherine Barber, 70s (Washington D.C.),
Tony Burden, 24 (Evansville, IL), Huong Le,
71 (SeaTac, WA), Roger Lindee, 41 (Palm
Bay, FL), Denise Rocha, 41 (San Antonio,
TX), Cameron Salinas, 4 (Oconee County,
SC), Trayshawn Toliver, 6 (Washington
D.C.) Annette Williams, 45 (Greensburg, IN).
Conclusion: Extensive Internet searches
were not performed to find the 373
incidences, yet there was still over one
reported shooting of a dangerous pit bull per
day in the nation.2 Six citizens died due to
injuries suffered in these attacks even with
firearm intervention. 40% (148) of all
incidences ended in bite injury ranging from
minor to at least 3 instances of amputation.3
The data also shows that the majority of
instances required more than one bullet be
shot. The average number of bullets fired
per incident was 1.7.4

Source Data
The original source data was captured in two formats: a Microsoft Word document compiled by
contributor David Monroe and 43 weekly blog posts5 created by DogsBite.org. In January of 2009,
DogsBite.org crosschecked the two data sources, making adjustments where needed and created
a single source data document,6 which formed the basis of the final report. The single source data
document was then migrated to a spreadsheet. Thus, the spreadsheet is the finalized report, with
incidences sorted by state and city for meaningful viewing.
Contributor
David Monroe, the founder and president of Human Safety First, played an invaluable role in
tracking the first two months of 2008. Monroe also played the continuous role of sharing his
independent results throughout the year with the DogsBite.org, as well as his year-end findings.

Footnotes 1 The "Possible Prevented Deaths by Firearm Intervention" document is located at the following URL:
http://www.dogsbite.org/reports/prevented-deaths-pit-bull-shootings-2008.pdf 2Excluded from the data is potentially a substantial number of city "police blotter reports" that are not online and
therefore not searchable via the web. 3Attacks that involved firearm intervention and ended in amputation include, but may not be limited to: Annette
Williams (Greensburg, IN), Roger Lindee (Palm Bay, FL) and Luna McDaniel (Ville Platt, LA). 4The 1.7 average includes incidences that involved more than one pit bull.
