UPDATE: The initial reports of 2 dogs shot and killed may be incorrect. One dog was definitely killed but the status of the 2nd dog is unknown at this time, even whether or not it was hit by gunfire, whether the 2nd dog was involved in the attacks or was just hanging around when they occurred, or whether the shooters even attempted to shoot the 2nd dog.
