It happened around 6:40 p.m. June 29 on West Farm Loop in Stokesdale, and the gunshot ended up hitting a nearby home, the Rockingham County Sheriff\u2019s Office said in a June 30 news release.<\/p>\n

\u201cA resident was walking her dog on a leash when she and her dog were attacked by two (Cane Corsi) that were running at large. Both the victim and her dog sustained injuries during the attack,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two dogs fled the area as emergency personnel and deputies arrived. While the victim was receiving medical treatment, one of the dogs returned and aggressively advanced toward a Rockingham County deputy. The deputy made several attempts to drive the dog away before discharging his firearm in defense of himself and others.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bullet missed the dog, hit the ground and ricocheted into a residence, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFortunately, no one was injured as a result of the ricochet,\u201d the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

An investigation identified the owners of the dogs suspected in the attack, and the owners were cited for allowing the animals to run at large, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth dogs were turned over to the Rockingham County Animal Shelter and are being held pending further investigation,\u201d officials said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRockingham County has enforced a leash law and animal containment ordinance since 1998. The ordinance was enacted following the tragic death of a child who was attacked by dogs running at large. The Sheriff\u2019s Office continues to strictly enforce this ordinance in an effort to protect the safety of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investigators did not release details of the injuries suffered by the woman and her dog.<\/p>\n
