It’s not clear if one of the dogs was holding the arm of an officer or if the officer had held him by its collar.  

Then an officer fires a round on the side, which can be heard in the video.

Shortly after, another officer comes close to distract the dogs and two of them then charge toward him to attack, resulting in him falling to the ground.  

The third officer then quickly comes in and shoots another round from his gun at one of the dogs.  

According to unofficial information, it appears that the dog that received the shot was injured, although the extent of the injuries is unknown.
