Police: Man attacked, killed by own dog

By By the Associated Press

CINCINNATI, Ohio —

Police said a large dog attacked and killed its owner inside his apartment.

Cincinnati police said they aren't sure yet what breed the dog was, other than it was a big dog. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that police said they shot and killed the dog because it reacted aggressively to firefighters who were trying to reach the man early Wednesday.

Police said they believe the attack happened around 2 a.m. No other details were available immediately.

Ohio has a new law aimed at cracking down on "vicious," "dangerous" and other aggressive dogs.
