Police have issued an urgent warning to residents in a major British city after an XL Bully ended up "on the loose" after officers failed to shoot the "aggressive" dog.
South Yorkshire Police confirmed officers attended an incident last night after neighbours reported gunshots outside a house in Walkley, Sheffield.
During a search of properties, which came after a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, South Yorkshire Police seized two dogs.
A third dog, identified as an XL Bully, was shot but managed to escape and remains on the loose in Walkley.
