Armed police shot dead a 'dangerous' dog after it mauled a man to death. Officers were scrambled to a property in Leigh last night (Thursday) after the 'dangerously out of control' dog launched a ferocious attack on a man.
The dog was forced into a cabin in a yard at the rear of the property and when armed police arrived, the animal was shot dead.
It is believed the victim, 37, who suffered horrific head and neck injuries, was taken to hospital, but was pronounced dead at around 2am.
