Police say a 2-week-old girl in Ohio has died after the family's German shepherd got loose from a kitchen area where it had been penned in and bit her.
Cleveland police were called to the home on the city's west side around 6:30 p.m. Friday. The child died several hours later at a Cleveland hospital.
Police say the infant was in a first-floor bedroom and suffered head trauma.
The 4-year-old dog was taken to a city kennel.
Homicide detectives were called to investigate, which is normal Cleveland police protocol in the deaths of children.
Police will confer with prosecutors about possible criminal charges.
