A DOG has been shot and injured by a police officer after it violently attacked three people in a Canberra suburb.
Police were called to Dunlop on the city's outskirts on Tuesday to reports a tan-coloured dog had set upon a group of people.
One woman was "bailed up" by the attacking dog, police said, while a man who came to her rescue was left bleeding after the animal turned on him.
A 17-year-old male also had his clothing ripped as the dog tried to bite him.
A police officer at the scene opened fire on the dog, injuring it.
The dog retreated to a nearby home where it was contained in the backyard until the owner returned home.
The dog has been taken to a vet for treatment.
