The witnesses said several neighbors tried to pull the dogs off, and one fired a rifle into the ground to scare the dogs off.
Witnesses told deputies they heard a woman screaming for help and when they went outside, they saw the postal worker on the ground being attacked by five dogs. When deputies arrived, the report stated, they found the woman on the ground bleeding severely and noticed five dogs inside a fenced area on Walker Drive. They immediately started first aid assistance on the woman including applying tourniquets until rescue units arrived.
“Our hearts are with the victim and her family as they navigate through this tragic event,” Sheriff H.D. DeLoach said. “It is imperative that dog owners take responsibility in keeping their animals in a secured location for their safety and those around.”
