Public health worker killed by "pack of dangerous dogs" in Alabama after she went to home to follow up on another dog attack

An Alabama sheriff's office says a public health worker was killed by a "pack of dangerous dogs" after she went to a home to follow up on a report about dogs attacking and injuring another person days earlier.

The Franklin County Sheriff's Office said the dogs' owner, Brandy Dowdy, 39, has been charged with manslaughter. Jail records on Sunday did not show whether she is represented by an attorney.

Oliver said deputies on Friday saw several dogs attacking people south of Red Bay, and that led to one person suffering minor injuries and to some dogs being euthanized.
