Response to a pit bull attack

Please critique as a photojournalistic effort. This happened at work

one day. The canteen truck driver wouldn't get out of the truck with

the dog roaming around. By the time I took this picture, one pitbull

was dead, one was still on the loose and a third was still in its'

fenced area.

The photo draws my interest because of the weapons, especially the handgun caught in an odd position. It would draw me to a story to find out what was up but I would be surprised to read that it had something to do with a pit bull attack.

This was indeed a response to Pit Bulls. I have a folder titled "Incident in Everett" that has more photos from the ordeal - http://www.photo.net/photodb/presentation.tcl?presentation_id=77210. I started shooting and one of the Detectives who had been taking photos stopped and asked if I could give him copies of mine. I burned a CD the next day and gave it to the police.

The folder is hard to look at as a dog

lover, but from a photo journalistic view,

you did a very good job of capturing the

events that needed to be, as they happened!
