Officers were called around noon on Saturday, Sept. 28 to the 7500 block of Brunson Circle in Gainsville, where two loose dogs - described as german shepherds - bit two different people.
The dogs were located, according to a spokesperson from the Prince William County Police Department, and they proceeded to attack another man and charged at the officers, resulting in one discharging his weapon, which grazed one of the animals.
They then ran off.
Investigators say that later that same day, the dogs and their owner were located in the Hillwood Camping Park, where Animal Control Officers responded and took them into their possession pending the investigation into the initial bites.
Minor injuries were reported.
