Louisville Metro Police said Second Division officers responded to the 1700 block of W. Lee Street. to assist first responders at around 7 p.m. Spokesperson Aaron Ellis said when officers arrived, they were told that there was a man in the backyard of the house and a girl located inside, both who had been bitten “several times” by at least two dogs.
The dogs, with breeds unknown, were still in the area when officers arrived and LMPD shot and killed both. Ellis said the man was transported to U of L Hospital in serious-to-critical condition, and the 8-year-old girl was transported to Norton Children’s with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
The owner of the dogs has been located and Louisville Metro Animal Services is taking over the investigation.
