A woman was killed and her husband seriously injured after a vicious mauling by two pit bulls on Christmas Eve in a Kentucky coal town.

Two Bell County deputies responded to the scene Sunday morning in Arjay and discovered the woman and her husband “had been savagely attacked” by two pit bulls, the sheriff's department said in a statement. Investigators said the husband managed to shoot the dogs afterwards, killing one of them.

The Bell County Coroner's Office said the woman who was killed was Lorraine Brock Saylor, 66.

WYMT-TV said her husband wsa Johnny Saylor.

The sheriff's department said a caller had reported his brother and sister-in-law were attacked by two of their neighbor’s dogs, WLEX-TV reported.

Lorraine Saylor was declared dead at the scene. Her husband was hospitalized, the station reported.

“The husband suffered wounds as well, but was able to shoot both dogs, killing one while the other ran off,” the department said.

The sheriff urged residents to be on the lookout for the injured dog.

“Under no circumstances are you to engage this dangerous animal,” the department said.[/quote]

Probably misidentified crossbreeds. Real PIT BULLS with a pedigree wouldn't do that.

You are kidding right. POOR TIME TO BE KIDDING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bad dogs to have period.

Ignorant owners are the start of the problem!!! I heard of a family close to me that had one attack their infant child and about killed it. They still have the dog, just hide it when the social service people come to check on the welfare of the child. That kind of stupidity makes me stick!!!

I agree, however there has to be something in the DNA that causes these dogs to randomly and viciously attack, and not stop till the victims are dead. 2% of the dogs cause 76% of the fatal maulings.

I agree

Best pit bull is a dead pit bull..

Or one never born

just repeating what all the experts said last week about the same sort of deal, except in that one her own dogs ate her. Those guys should be along soon enough.

Right, like a crossbred lab that wont retrieve or a crossbred pointer that wont point...

This thread several said pits ain't to blame in these attacks.

To each their own.:)

Not one breed of dog ? Who cares , the one thing they all have in common is a death sentence

bet they don't bite either? save it, statistics prove it. they come on my property or appears a threat, the problem gets solved.

If you order a dozen bridger dp's and they send a dozen dukes. Then complain about the dukes but labeling them as bridger... That ok?

Shaken in mah boots chillax mane. Its just a doggy.

you folks who think Pitts are the real deal, here are the facts, I'm 57 years old, have raised dogs my entire life, bear dogs, coon dogs, house dogs, cattle dogs, beagles, bassets, and Shepards, this is a fact.....99.5% of the homes with Pitts are into illegal activities, they have these dogs for a reason, they are unpredictable, you cannot read their body language like a normal dog, I don't care how docile you claim your dog is, its what they are capable of that makes them a menace, and you know that, yet you have them why? is the activities you need them to protect you from worth the liability? if so its just a matter of time before your in the hoosegow anyways.

Activities I need them for? I lock people up for those activities my man. Like a normal dog? As a teen I sat down next to my mother to watch tv, only to be bitten by her poodle. A lapdog named snowball. Lmao like a normal dog? C'mon mane.
