    Cliff Notes – XL bully on the loose after being shot at by police

    • An XL bully escaped in Sheffield following police shots fired at the aggressive dog during a disturbance.
    • Authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and to refrain from approaching the animal due to its potential aggressive behaviour.
    • New legislation prohibiting ownership of XL bullies without a valid exemption certificate has been in effect since February 1, 2024.

    An XL bully is on the loose in Sheffield after police shot at it.

    Officers were called to an address in the Hillfoot area of the city on Friday night after reports of gunfire, South Yorkshire Police said.

    They entered the property in Daniel Hill Street after receiving a call at 10.04pm.

    Inside, they discovered the dog and it became aggressive, causing armed officers to fire a shot towards it and the animal to flee, the force said.

    It is not known if the dog was injured.

    Chief Superintendent for Sheffield Jamie Henderson said in a statement: “I would like to assure you that we are doing all we can to locate the dog or find those who may have housed it to evade police contact.

    “We appreciate people in our communities being vigilant, and I ask that you get in touch immediately if you see the dog.

    “I urge you not to approach the dog, as we believe it has the ability to show aggression and cause harm.”

    Owning an XL bully without a valid exemption certificate has been illegal in England and Wales since new legislation came into force on 1 February 2024.
