WILD DOG KILLED BY DEPUTIES: FRENCH CAMP - One of the dogs which may have killed dozens of goats at a French Camp livestock auction yard recently was killed Friday.
Workers at a Dollar Tree distribution facility in the area of Runway Drive and Aviation Drive reported seeing the dog to authorities Friday morning, said Deputy Les Garcia with the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department.
Deputies have been looking for the pack of wild dogs this week and had searched for them for two hours already Friday, Garcia said.
He said deputies tried to tranquilize the dog but were unsuccessful.
Concerned for the safety of those who work and live in the area, a deputy shot and killed the dog, Garcia said.
Animal Control Services removed it.

GUN MAN STEALS YUM YUM LION: STOCKTON - Call it an armed robbery or a kidnapping, but a man with a truck and a gun took the Yum Yum Donuts Yum Yum lion at 5 a.m. Thursday.
The robot/lion is a metal sculpture that serves as a landmark and mascot for the Stockton business.
The manager at Yum Yum Donuts on Wilson Way said his employee and a customer tried to stop the man from stealing the metal lion statute, but the robber pointed a gun at them.
Herrera said he paid a San Diego sculptor $1,500 for the two robots. They're just made of scrap metal, but they're pretty special to Yum Yum customers.
This isn't the first time thieves have been more interested in what's outside of the store than what's inside the registers. A surveillance camera near the robots was stolen last week.
