Officials believed that a neighbor heard suspicious noises from the apartment, contacted police, and went into the apartment to help save the man from the pit bull attacks. They proceeded to use a crossbow to stop the attack by striking one of the dogs with an arrow. That arrow went through a door and killed the victim.
