Pit bulls kill 5-year-old
Here we go again. If, as pit bull advocates say, it’s the dog owners not the breed, can we at least start locking up the assholes that have these vicious dogs around children?
The 5-year-old boy was attacked and killed by the family’s two pit bulls around nine last night. It happened near the intersection of FM 88 and Mile 13 North. The little boy died at the scene.
A next-door neighbor saw the attack and did what he could. But he says it was too late. We asked him if the dog was still wild. Leo Gutierrez says, “He was pretty wild. I tried to get him out of the way and put him in the back. I didn’t have anything to control the dog.”
Hidalgo County sheriff’s deputies arrived and shot and killed the dog. The second pit bull managed to get away.
