SoCal Woman Mauled to Death by Pit Bulls
BARSTOW, Calif. (AP) — A pack of pit bulls surrounded a woman and mauled her to death, authorities said Wednesday.
Police found Kelly Caldwell, 45, lying in the street around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, and took her to a hospital, where she later died, the San Bernardino County sheriff's department said.
After the mauling, the dogs ran to a nearby house. Deputies shot one dog to death when it returned to the scene and acted aggressively as paramedics were trying to save Caldwell's life, authorities said.
A second dog was shot to death Wednesday morning when it, too, returned. Deputies said it became aggressive as an animal control officer tried to capture it.
Authorities said at least one dog belonged to a neighbor.
Investigators collected DNA samples from the dogs. An autopsy will be performed on Caldwell and necropsies on the dogs to determine which one attacked Caldwell, sheriff's Sgt. Richard Ells said.
Detectives also are looking into whether the dogs' owners knew whether the animals had any history of violence. If the dogs were dangerous and the owners knew it, they could face criminal charges, Ells said.

We have a pack of dogs here in Pinon Hills. They killed a goat and chickens. I don't know if they caught them yet.

That story was in the LA times today.
It listed it as happening in Yermo. We don't get many Yermo events reported in the LA Times. 
Bummer NEWS, and sounds like a slow painful way to die.
Hope they catch the dogs in your area lib, it's a small jump from pets to childern.  |

It would'nt be no surprise to find out that the dogs belong to someone who's cooking up meth in their home.
Often times, meth makers have deadly dogs like that for "protection". |

I think a lot of people dump their dogs off in the desert. Maybe they get too vicious and they don't want them around their kids - so dump them off in Pinon Hills or Yermo or... There is a sign near our home that says it is a crime to dump pets out here.

I wonder why the lady didn't just pull out her gun and shoot enough of them that the others went somewhere else.
