An 89-year-old woman has died from injuries that she sustained when two pit bulls attacked her and her 12-year-old grandson last week, authorities in Colorado said Monday.
The attack happened on Wednesday in the backyard of a home in Golden, Colorado, which is about 15 miles outside Denver. The woman's grandson, who was also seriously injured during the attack, has since been released from the hospital and is recovering, according to the Golden Police Department's latest update. Neither the child nor his grandmother have been publicly named.
Police say that officers received a call reporting an animal bite around 3:30 p.m. on the afternoon of the attack. The call came from a neighbor's house, where the child had fled to seek help. He was found bleeding when officers arrived, and they found an additional trail of blood leading to the residence where the two dogs were still attacking his grandmother in the backyard.
