PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) —

A Portland police spokesman says an officer responding to a report of a man with an aggressive pit bull trying to board a bus fatally shot the dog near a north Portland transit stop.

Lt. Robert King says shortly after officers arrived at the scene Wednesday afternoon, the dog charged one officer and the officer fired.

The shooting is under investigation.
