SEATAC — King County sheriff’s deputies shot and killed two pit bull dogs that were mauling a woman in Sea-Tac.
The sheriff’s office says the woman was still being mauled in a driveway today when a deputy arrived and quickly pulled his gun. The other dog had run off but was shot by another deputy.
The woman in her 70s was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle in serious condition with bite wounds from her legs to her head.
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.
