For the second time in two days, a Sedalia police officer was forced to shoot 
a pit bull to keep from being mauled by the animal. 
Patrolman Adam Hendricks said he was forced to shoot the dog Friday as it 
attacked him for the fourth time. 
Officer Craig Burton had to shoot two dogs Thursday morning when they charged 
at him as he investigated an emergency call at 312 E. Second St. 
At 7:15 p.m. Friday, police received a call that the dog was running loose 
terrorizing people and animals in the area of the 1200 block of West Sixth 
Street. 
When he arrived, Patrolman Hendricks found that the dog had chased one person 
up a tree to keep from being attacked and trapped others in their cars, 
afraid to try to get to their homes.
