US EditionHero Air Ambulance Pilot Shot Dead Rampaging XL Bully to 'Save Victim's Life'
Captain Jon Earp shot an aggressive XL Bully dog after it attacked multiple people, using four shots to neutralize the threat and save lives at a farm in North Wales.
- On November 17, 2023, an XL Bully dog named Ricoh attacked several people at a farm in Rhoshirwaun near Aberdaron, Gwynedd.
- The attack occurred when landlord Gwilym Wyn Roberts sounded his car horn, which triggered the dog to become aggressive and attack tenants Lisa and Roger Grant and Roberts himself.
- Captain Jon Earp, pilot of the Wales Air Ambulance, landed at the scene, consulted police, borrowed a farmer's shotgun, and shot the dog four times to end the relentless attack after the armed police were too far away.
- The first shot had no effect, showing the animal's ferocity, and Earp's actions were praised as brave, with a Crown Court commendation announced for saving Mr. Grant's life amidst serious injuries to victims.
- Lisa Grant received an eight-month jail sentence suspended for 12 months and an indefinite ban on keeping dogs, while victims face lasting injuries and Mrs. Grant has been rehoused and requires arm surgery.
