QUESTIONS SURROUNDING POLICE PIT BULL SHOOTING

I guess I have a few more questions regarding this incident where a Regina Police Service member shot and killed a pitbull over the weekend.

This much of the story we know:

Officers received a complaint about an assault and upon arrival saw a severely injured man.  Multiple witnessed described three suspects running away from the scene.  A canine officer, police dog, and patrol officer followed a suspect into a yard where they encountered a pitbull.  A scuffle ensued and, fearing for their lives, one of the officers fired a shot at the pitbull and killed it.  The dog was later determined to be on a long chain and had access to most of the yard.

Here's what I am wondering:

-What time of night was this and how come the dog wasn't inside?  To me, if you have a loving pet, you don't leave it outside all night long.  You bring it in to stay with you.

-Did the suspect, in fact, go into this yard and was he caught?

-Is the suspect connected to the owner of the pit bull at all?

Once those questions are answered, I may have more comment on this.

On a separate note, Evan Bray is 110% correct when he says people have no right to go on a Facebook page and say things like 'the only good cop is a dead cop' or 'lets see how an RPS officer likes being tied up in a yard and then shot'.  Give your head a shake.  For that second individual commenting on being tied up, I refer you to my first question surrounding this incident.
