A Cincinnati police supervisor shot and killed an unleashed dog that was attacking another dog in Eden Park Monday, officials said.

Police said the shooting occurred just after 6 p.m. near the upper overlook in the Mount Adams park.

The unleashed dog was attacking another dog that was with it's owner and leashed, according to Lt. Stephen Saunders.

"The supervisor attempted to stop the attack first with a Taser," Saunders said in a message to the press. "The dog continued to attack, then the supervisor shot the aggressive dog."

Saunders said both dog owners are cooperating with police. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is assisting officers with the investigation.
