Four family members are in the hospital after their dog got loose from its chain and attacked them this morning in Yakima County.
A responding Yakima Sheriff's deputy fatally shot the dog, claiming the animal was trying to attack her when she arrived at 9051 Evans Road near White Swan at 9:15 a.m., according to the Yakima County Sheriff's Office.
The dog, a Rottweiler mix, first attacked the family's small child, who was playing in the yard at the family's home.
The mother attempted to rescue the child, but was also attacked. She and the child tried to go back into the house, but the dog followed them inside and injured two other family members.
The four were taken to Yakima Memorial Hospital, but the extent of their injuries was not released by the sheriff's office.
Yakima County Animal Control is investigating the events.
