An aggressive pitbull was shot twice by Sunshine Coast RCMP to prevent further attacks.

A female who was in the house, told 911 dispatchers that the pitbull had she had been attacked by the dog, along with several other adults. She said her boyfriend was bleeding from the head and ears after being bit by the dog. Dispatchers were told that three people in the house would require medical assistance.
