A Pennsylvania woman has been killed by a pack of dogs in a horrific incident on Tuesday. The woman, who has not yet been publicly identified, was found dead in a wooded area in the western part of the commonwealth.
The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) revealed that the woman was attacked by a pack of five dogs when she ventured out into the woods for a walk. An investigation into the incident is currently underway to ascertain the precise circumstances surrounding the fatal attack.
The PSP have established that the dogs involved in the attack were all of the same breed and had been living in the same household in the area. However, they have yet to reveal the breed of the dogs or the identity of the owner.
The tragic death of the woman is the latest in a string of attacks by dogs in the area. In the past few months, a number of other people have been attacked and some have sustained serious injuries.
The PSP are now urging all pet owners to take extra precautions when it comes to their animals. They are also calling on the public to report any suspicious activity or aggressive behavior from dogs in their neighborhoods.
The PSP are continuing their investigation into the incident and are working to identify the owner of the dogs responsible for the attack. At this stage, it is unclear whether the owner will face any criminal charges.
