An officer was forced to put the animal down when it moved toward him aggressively.
A little more than a year ago, Royersford residents were shocked to hear a local woman allegedly fired shots at an "aggressive dog" in a residential area.

Firing gunshots at a dog is a touchy subject... But, then again, so is the subject of aggressive dogs. More recently, we heard about a 4-year-old boy's horrific story in Linfield last Friday. This time, a dog allegedly "lunged" at the boy, who was riding his bicylce. According to reports, the dog bit the boy, who …

A statement from Spring City Police Chief Art Brown
With the recent shots fired in East Vincent Township, we asked Spring City Police Chief Art Brown for some tips or warnings to send out to the community. He took the opportunity to address the public on Wednesday afternoon: "In light of that recent shooting in East Vicent," Brown said. "I want to remind the community that they are the eyes and ears of the community. So, when they see or hear something suspicious, they should call us and let us check it out. We can't be everwhere, so we depend on some help from our citizens." There have been no further developments on the case to date.

Not that it explains anything but we all know it is sometimes very draining on the soul to avoid others' … more ›
