Two dogs killed 12 sheep and injured eight more on a farm near Funkstown, according to Maryland State Police.
Police said two large pit bulls attacked the animals, and chased the farmer into his barn Sunday morning. The farmer’s son shot and killed one of the dogs and the other one ran home.
Washington County Human Society is investigating the alleged animal-control violations. The owner of one of the dogs is being asked to keep the pit bull confined at her home.
