Deputy Fatally Shoots Pit Bull. Officials said a Harford County Sheriff’s deputy was forced to fatally shoot a pit bull in Edgewood. The Sheriff’s Office said it responded just before 5 p.m. in the 1400 block of St. Michael Court for two aggressive pit bulls seen walking around the court. A short time later, the sheriff’s office received another call from someone in the 1400 block of St. Michael Court reporting the dogs were jumping at their door.
