An elderly woman, 89, and her grandson, 12, were attacked by two pit bulls last week in Golden, Colorado. While the boy sustained serious injuries, the grandmother died on Sept. 19, 2022.
Officers called to the scene of the attack found blood leading into the home and immediately went to the backyard, where the dogs were mauling the woman. They used stun guns and less-lethal shotguns but weren't able to separate the dogs from the victim until additional officers arrived.
