KYLE, Texas (KXAN) — A dog was shot and killed after Kyle Police say it attacked an officer Saturday afternoon.

According to the Kyle Police Department they received numerous 911 calls after 1 p.m. of a dog on the loose at the HEB Plus! parking lot at 5401 South Fm 1626.

When a Kyle police officer arrived on scene he located the dog and began trying to restrain it without using force. While doing so KPD says the dog attacked, forcing the officer to shoot the dog.

One woman says she pulled up after the dog was shot, while it was covered with a blanket. She says she was there about 15 minutes.

“There was nobody there picking up this dog. I didn’t hear anybody coming, I drove back home here in Kyle, didn’t see any animal control around and I live in downtown Kyle. And then I went back to Buda and I still saw flashing lights over there, so I don’t know how long it took them to take that dog to the veterinarian,” said Ana Rey, one of the witnesses at the scene.

Authorities say the dog was still alive at the scene, they say the dog was taken to a veterinary office where it passed away.

According to an employee of Vanguard Veterinary Associates who was offering vaccinations in the parking lot, the dog was waiting to get vaccinated when it became agitated with the other dogs and got loose.

Two witnesses told KXAN that the dog barked at the police officer, but never touched him before it was shot. One woman said the dog jumped up on his hind legs, but didn’t lunge at the officer, and was then shot.

The Kyle Police Department will conduct a full investigation into the incident, but has not placed the officer on administrative leave as that is not KPD protocol for incidents like there.

The officer was not wearing a body camera during the shooting. Police Chief Jeff Barnett says not all of their officers have body cameras. Dash cam video was unable to capture the incident, since it was facing a different direction, however, Chief Barnett says there is audio they will be reviewing.

According to the City of Kyle, Animal Control officers were unavailable to respond to the scene as one was on a military training weekend and the other was off duty.
