I would think that if the woman was yelling help or something than she was being attacked but that does not seem to be the case. Still if she was actually being attacked which she was not it does not mean that a gun is the best way to stop the attack because of the proximity of the person to the dog.
The cop was not justified in using a gun in my opinion and as someone earlier stated to find this cop another job I do not agree with. What they should do is fire this cop for discharging their weapon in an unsafe manner and never to be a cop again. Let them find their own job.

It takes a very special kind of person to be a good cop. They need to have a lot of maturity and be able to handle high stress situations very well, making good decisions in seconds. Yes, this cop made a very STUPID mistake that could have cost an innocent human being her life, much less an innocent dog.
This individual cop has made it painfully obvious he is not suited to the job. You don't even use a gun to stop a dogfight between dogs, it's happening too fast and there is too high of a risk of injuring the defending dog. I can NOT imagine how anybody would think it's a good idea to shoot in the direction of a person, even if it had been a real attack. The headline easily could have been "Woman shot and killed by cop during dog attack".
Just as you wouldn't want someone who vomits at the sight of blood to be an EMT, I wouldn't want someone with such poor judgment to be a cop. I hope his butt gets kicked to the curb.

He should not be a cop. I Hope the woman and dog owner both sue him.
What an absolute idiot. Sidenote, I think this particular cop is a she, not a he. Not that it makes a difference, just mentioning because a lot of people were refering to the cop as "he."
On a different note, what is the picture with the article supposed to be portraying. It's a dog (Sugar the pit bull?) looking at . . . a weird light?
