Off-Duty Officers Shoot Dog Inside Hollywood Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Disney Studio Store

Two off-duty officers shot a pit bull inside the Ghiradelli Soda Fountain on Hollywood Boulevard, which resides next to the El Capitan Theatre and is also home to the Disney Studio Store. According to ABC 7, initial reports indicate that the dog was shot after it bit at least one of the officers. Witnesses say the dog was shot in the face and ran around the store, leaving a trail of blood. It’s unclear whether the dog survived the injuries. Two people were apparently transported to the hospital with dog bites. A section of Hollywood Boulevard was temporarily closed as police investigated the incident. Additional details, including why the dog was in the shop to begin with, were not immediately available.
