I'd recommend pepper spraying the dogs to get them apart.

Well that's your opinion, and that's one way to handle a bear (black bears being the size of a husky) that has worked for me and other people in that situation. I have no idea of the set up of this dog park, and neither do you, but the one in my town it is completely possible to shoot into the ground. It also depends on the fire arm, as they vary widely. We don't know those details. I do know that this was a dog park with pets, and not a situation with wild animals that would be better served by not killing an animal, where a warning shot would have worked.
Back to what I said, for a person who has training and a license to carry a firearm, this guy sure didn't know how to use it. If the USPS carries pepper spray for dogs on their route, it could have very well worked here.
