An FBI agent shot and killed a large dog that attacked a smaller dog in Glen Burnie Friday morning, according to an agency spokeswoman.
A woman was walking a 180-pound dog on a footpath near Hopkins Corner in the Tanyard Springs community Friday when the dog broke free and attacked a smaller dog, according to Amy J. Thoreson, a spokeswoman for the FBI's Baltimore Field Office.
The agent, who has not yet been publicly identified, shot and killed the larger dog, Thoreson said. No people were hurt, Thoreson said. It's unclear if the smaller dog was injured.
Thoreson could not immediately say what the FBI agent was doing in the neighborhood or whether the agent was on duty or off duty.
The FBI field office, the FBI's Inspection Division from the bureau's Washington headquarters and the Anne Arundel County Police Department are investigating, Thoreson said.
Lt. Michael Brothers, a spokesman for the Anne Arundel Police, said his agency's officers responded to the incident, but he referred further questions to the FBI.
