PLANO (CBSDFW.COM/AP) - Police say seven people,including one police officer and at least one child,  have been bitten by two aggressive dogs in an attack that ended when a North Texas officer shot and killed one of the German shepherds.

Plano police on Monday said the victims have injuries not believed to be life-threatening.

Officer David Tilley says the officer who was bitten Sunday night has a leg wound and was treated and released from a hospital. Six other victims have lesser injuries.

Officers responded to 911 calls about two loose dogs biting people at a townhomes complex and near a park. Tilley says an officer chased one dog, was bitten, then fatally shot the animal.

The other dog was removed by animal control officers.

Police are investigating possible charges against the owner, including prior complaints about the aggressive animals.
