IRVING, Texas — Police say a 16-year-old boy has died after being mauled by three pit bulls inside the fenced backyard of a Dallas-area home where the dogs lived.
Irving police on Sunday announced the death of the boy, whose name wasn’t immediately released. One officer was treated for a dog bite.
A police statement says officers responded around 5 a.m. Saturday to reports of a dog attack and arrived to find three dogs mauling the boy, who did not live at the home. The youth died Saturday night at a hospital.
Police shot one of the dogs, which later had to be euthanized. The other two dogs were taken to a shelter.
Irving police are investigating why the teen was at the home. The owner told investigators that the boy was trespassing.
