A woman who had escaped without serious injury from a dog attack was accidentally shot by police while she hid from the animal behind a door, police said Wednesday.
Police in Berlin shot the dog dead, but a stray bullet went through the door behind which the woman was cowering, striking her in the arm.
The woman was not seriously injured. She had gone to visit neighbors at their apartment on Tuesday evening when their 2-year-old dog Carlito attacked her.
A police officer was also grazed in the throat by a ricocheting bullet. Police are investigating possible charges of negligence against both the dog's owner and the police officers who fired the shots.
