Pit Bulls Maul Jogger To Death In California A 63-year-old jogger has been mauled to death by four pit bulls in a rural area of Los Angeles County. Police seized several dogs, as they warned people to be on the lookout for the animals who may have been involved in the attack. Sheriff's Lieutenant John Corina said a woman in a car saw the dogs attacking the female runner on Thursday morning. The witness called 911 and sounded her car horn to try to get the dogs to stop. "When the first deputy on scene saw one dog still attacking the woman, he tried to chase the dog away," Lt Corina said. The dog turned around and attacked the deputy. The deputy fired a round at the dog and tried to kill the dog, and the dog took off into the desert. The woman died while she was in an ambulance on the way to a hospital near the high desert community of Littlerock, about 65 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Sheriffs and animal control officials served a search warrant on a home less than half a mile from the site of the attack. They took away eight dogs, six of them pit bulls and two of them of mixed breeds. Investigators were planning to carry out DNA tests to determine whether the dogs were involved in the attack. A 29-year-old man from the house was arrested on suspicion of cultivating marijuana. Residents who live near the site of the attack said stray dogs are constantly roaming the area and have attacked people before. "It's really scary," Diane Huffman told KABC-TV. I don't know what to think. I really think I'm going to be getting a gun to protect myself.
