Gering City Council to research dangerous and vicious dog ordinance

Posted: Updated:

In light of a recent pit bull attack the Gering City Council has some decisions to make.

Georgetta Weimer of Gering was washing her car when her neighbor's two pitbulls came into her yard.

One of the pitbulls chased her into her garage.

The police arrived on the scene to help contain the pit bull and to address a verbal confrontation between the Weimers and their neighbor.

The Weimers appeared at the gering city council meeting to discuss new ordinances for vicious and dangerous dogs.

Gering City Council member Monette Ross says the incident scared the couple.

"That it was very, very frightening and they're concerned for themselves, also for little kids that'll be running around through the neighborhood etc. And they wanted city council to do something to protect them."

Ross says the City Council will turn the case over to the city's attorney to research other cities dog ordinances.
