Salt Lake City police say they shot and killed two aggressive dogs while executing a narcotics search warrant Tuesday night.
About 9:15 p.m., officers entered a home near 150 E. Edith Ave. and were attacked by the pit bulls, police said. Officials on Wednesday said they were unsure how many officers fired at the animals.
Inside the home officers found heroin and drug paraphernalia, police said.
Police booked three people, ages 24 to 29, into the Salt Lake County Jail on suspicion of drug possession. The trio were also booked on suspicion of child endangerment because there were two young children inside the home, police said.
