NewsvineDeputies kill 2 pit bulls mauling Wash. woman
King County sheriff's deputies shot and killed two pit bull dogs that were mauling a 71-year-old woman in Seatac.
King County sheriff's deputies shot and killed two pit bull dogs that were mauling a 71-year-old woman in Seatac.
The sheriff's office says the woman was still being mauled in a driveway Monday when a deputy arrived and quickly pulled his gun. The other dog had run off but was shot by another deputy.
The woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle with bite wounds from her legs to her head. Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart says the woman is listed in serious condition.
The attack happened several blocks from where the dogs lived. Animal Control officers talked to the owner and confiscated two other pit bulls from the home.
