Let me say I feel most of us are animal lovers and hate to see a dog get shot.
However there is a lot more to this story than can be conveyed by the few paragraphs we have read.
Guy being threatened by pit bull "I was afraid for my life."
Owner of pit bull "he was a sweet dog and wouldn't hurt anyone."

Let me also say that back in the day we took our dogs to the park and threw the ball with no problems... however these were not 'dog parks' San Pedro is blessed with some huge green areas so at that time it was no problem finding an section of lawn with no people or dogs.

I also question the wisdom of 'dog parks', I understand the desire to let your dog run free (see above) but the way fluffy behaves in the living room and the way fluffy will act running free with a bunch of other random dogs can be two very different situations
