SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Animal control officers in Sioux Falls took two dogs into custody after they bit a woman and a police officer.

Authorities say an officer who responded to the report of a woman attacked by a dog about 7 a.m. Friday was bitten on the right thigh by one of the Tibetan mastiffs. When the dog approached him a second time he fired two shots. Neither dog was hit.

The officer was treated at a hospital for a minor injury. The woman who was attacked was taken to a hospital for treatment of multiple injuries to her right arm and her legs.

The dogs were located later, and found to be current on vaccinations.
