Police Shoot Unleashed Dog That “Suddenly Charged” at Officers @CitizenApp

809 E California Blvd Yesterday 9:18:46 PM PDT

The incident occurred on the evening of April 15, 2025 near California Ave and Hudson. 809 E. California Ave was the location on the Citizen app.

You can see in the video several Pasadena PD vehicles, police officers, Pasadena Fire, and Pasadena Humane Society vehicle pull up.

With a few minutes after hearing a woman yelling, apparently the dog charges officers and an officer shoots the dog, what appears to be two shots fired.

Why a taser or stun gun or other method was not an option will surely be investigated. Officer involved shootings are a serious matter.  Whatever happened the community deserves a transparent investigation.

After the dog is shot and killed the woman could be heard screaming over what just happened.  The original call for service was related to an incoherent woman in need of medical attention. Apparently the dog was unleashed. Which may have been the result of the woman needing medical assistance and incoherent.  The dog appeared to be a pit breed.

So far there has been no statement from Pasadena Police Dept.  spokesperson or from the chief. We hope that there will be a report soon.
