A pit bull attack has led to the death of a 4-year-old in Houma, Louisiana. It happened inside an apartment complex where the family lives. Apparently the mother and daughter were watching TV when the dog suddenly attacked without warnin...g. Houma Police Chief Todd Duplantis said the mother finally got to a bedroom where she barricaded herself along with her little girl. She screamed for help and was able to hand her daughter through a window to medical personnel but the child later died at the hospital.
Mia Derouen, suffered facial, torso and head injuries in the attack and her mom, and owner of the dog, also suffered moderate injuries and was hospitalized.
Duplantis said the dog was running inside the apartment in a very vicious manner and the officers had to shot and kill the dog to eliminate the threat of additional injuries.
The family had two pit bulls, and one was more than 100 pounds. The larger one attacked the little girl but the police chief there's never been any complaints about the dog from neighbors. He went on to say there were no signs of animal abuse or that the dogs were being trained to fight.
Mia would have celebrated her fifth birthday next week.See More
