A college student from Texas was recently mauled to death in a terrifying and vicious dog attack.
This incident took place while she was pet-sitting three pitbulls, who her grieving mother said all seemed to adore her, before the dogs’ shocking and inexplicable actions.
The victim was identified as Madison Riley, who was found dead in the backyard of a residential home in Tyler, Texas, around 4:15 pm.
A neighbor called 911, and that’s when deputies with the Smith County Sheriff’s Office replied. By this time, the dogs ended up pouncing on Riley, causing a serious injury that ultimately led to her death.
The Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the dogs were seen diverting their attention. All three of the dogs arrived towards him, and the officers unholstered their weapons, service weapons, and then fired at one of the dogs. This resulted in their death, the office added.
Riley’s mom, Jennifer Hubbell, mentioned how she could not believe what had just taken place, causing her to fall to her knees when she was informed of her daughter’s death. She’s having trouble putting the pieces together, adding that she did notice a change in the dog’s behavior shortly before this fatal attack.
