Incident Details
On June 8, the Vancouver Police Department reported that the shooting took place in the vicinity of West 4th Street and Columbia. The incident unfolded around 1:45 p.m. when authorities received reports of a man with a gun and a “hostile German shepherd” that had escaped and bitten at least one individual. By 3 p.m., police had located the man and the dog, and witnessed the dog attempting to attack a passerby.

The officers were equipped with body cameras during the encounter, and the footage will be reviewed and released at a later stage.
