Halifax Regional Police Const. Paul DesRochers said that around 8:40 a.m. Tuesday officers responded to a call that three large dogs were attacking a woman on Frederick Avenue.
Police entered the residence, and while attempting to save the woman, police said the dogs turned on them.
One of the officers shot and killed the three dogs.
The woman was taken to hospital to be treated for injuries from the attack that are not considered life-threatening, and the officers were not injured.
