Upon deputies entering the home to clear the residence a pit bull charged and attacked one deputy. The second deputy discharged his firearm striking the pit bull while it was attacking the deputy. The bullet traveled through the pit bull hitting the deputy. PBSO deputy was transported to a local hospital where he is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
