Pit bull killed after gas station rampage

A pit bull found running wild attacked at least three people at the Short Line Express gas station on Skypointe Drive in Centennial Hills. The youngest victim is said to be just eight years old. She was with her dad getting gas when the dog approached them and began biting. An employee called the police after seeing them scrambling to the top of their car for safety. As the dog attempted to jump onto their car, a Good Samaritan angled his SUV next to the vehicle so the man and his daughter could get away. The pit bull, estimated to be 80 pounds, then ran inside of the Short Line Express Market at the gas station, where it bit another man. The man dragged the dog outside by the collar to keep a hold of it; the dog's jaws locked on the man's arm. All three of the people who were bitten were treated at the hospital and should be okay. Police at the scene reportedly shot and killed the pit bull, which was then removed by Las Vegas Animal Control. The dog was wearing a collar but did not have tags; police are working to find its owner.
