According to police, when two officers arrived at the scene, they noticed a woman was covered in blood for an unknown reason. The officers said a "vicious" dog then charged at them. That's when one of the officers pulled out his weapon and fired one shot at the dog. The bullet missed the dog, ricocheted and hit the other officer in the leg.

Police Sgt. Jennifer Wardlow said the dog fled the scene, unharmed, after the shooting Friday evening. But she said two burglary suspects were arrested.

Neither the names of the two burglary suspects arrested at the scene nor of the officers involved have been released.

The officer's injuries were non-life threatening.
