Anthony English, 24, told Columbus police that a pit bull chased him
three blocks about 10:40 a.m. before he reached his grandfather's porch
at 682 Stanley Ave.

Buford English, 58, who was washing his car, got a 9 mm handgun, came
back and fatally shot the animal, Officer Dennis Byrd said.

"His grandson said the dog jumped a fence and was on its heels trying to
bite," Byrd said.
Sonya Garvin said the dog had been running in the neighborhood for three
days.

"My 2-year-old was out here at the time," she said angrily.

Byrd decided not to file charges against English, determining that he
shot the dog on his own property and in defense of his grandson.

Byrd decided not to file charges against English, determining that he shot the dog on his own property and in defense of his grandson.

The story would have ended rather differently in New York, New Jersey, or the People's Republic of California.

I've never heard of a Gandfather. :D

Good shoot but I am willing to bet a small sum that the dog was a mutt and not one of the "evil pit bulls".
