<p>PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A woman was wounded after a shot was fired at a vicious dog on Friday morning, Philadelphia police say.</p>

<p>It happened in the 6100 block of Ogontz Avenue at 7:14 a.m.</p>

<p>Police say the dog was mauling a small child when a man fired his gun at the animal.</p>

<p>The 22-year-old woman who was injured was likely hit by shrapnel or some other kind of fragment, police say.</p>

<p>Investigators initially believed the woman had been shot.</p>

<p>The woman was taken to the hospital by a private vehicle. She is listed in stable condition.</p>

<p>The man who fired the gun had a permit to carry, police say, and will not be charged.</p>

<p>The child suffered bite marks to the face and legs. He is listed in stable condition.</p>

<p>A dog was killed in this incident, police say. Another dog is in the custody of ACCT Philly.</p>

<p>Two dogs believed to be rottweilers were running loose when one attacked the child named Kasion.</p>

<p>Dwayne Patrick was driving by and saw the dog attack. He says he took his legally owned gun, which is licensed, and shot the attacking animal.</p>

<p>"I caught the attack on camera. I immediately took action, jumped out, told everybody to move, and discharged my firearm," said Patrick. "There were a lot of people out there. They were beating the dogs shooting with a paintball gun, trying to do everything to get the dog off the child, but there was nothing no one could do."</p>

<p>Action News was there Friday afternoon when Patrick was able to meet Kasion as his mother and aunt took him home from the hospital.</p>

<p>He suffered cuts to his ankles and face and received multiple stitches.</p>

<p>"That's the guy who shot the dog you keep telling people," said Kasion's</p>

<p>mother as she introduced Patrick to him.</p>

<p>"You're really strong," said Patrick as he and his girlfriend gave the family get-well cards.</p>

<p>Kasion's mother, who did not want to be shown on camera or share her name, thanked Patrick.</p>

<p>Patrick will not face any charges, according to police.</p>

<p>Officials are still looking for the owners of the dogs.</p>
