Police investigating whether man had permit for weapon
Anne Arundel County police say a 32-year-old man shot and killed a pit bull terrier to end a fight between the dog and another pit bull in a field near a residential neighborhood in Severn on Sunday morning.A 4-year-old pit bull named Kayne and a 7-year-old named Gyno started to fight as their owners walked them about 11 a.m. in a field at the end of Stillmeadows Drive near Oriole Court.
As the dogs fought, the owner of Gyno ran home to alert his parents, according to police. Moments later, a man appeared with a semiautomatic handgun and fired one shot, striking Kayne in the torso, witnesses told investigators.
The dog later died at a local veterinarian office. No charges have been filed.

It was not his call to kill that dog. It was not his. If he wanted to break it up a bat would work just fine. Hurt them to make them stop but there was no need for a gun. I have a pitbull and she would not hurt anyone or any other dog unless she was attacked first. I'd be sure to press charges or do something if that man killed my dog regardless of whether she was fighting or not. It's my problem. I would have found a way to deal with it. My dog also listens to me. With dogs if you show you have the upper hand they usually listen and respect you.
