Kali9/Getty ImagesSAN ANTONIO, Texas — An elderly man was killed and a woman critically injured in a"horrific" dog attack in Texas on Friday, authorities said.Responding firefighters had to fend off the dogs with pickaxes and pipe poles, according to San Antonio Fire Department Chief Charles Hood, who called their actions"heroic."
An approximately 80-year-old man and a woman both believed to be visiting the area were mauled in the attack, which occurred on the sidewalk, Hood said. They were both transported to a local hospital. The man died due to his injuries, while the woman remains in critical condition, Hood said. Two dogs determined to be involved in the attack and a third from the same household that was unrestrained and outside the property were taken into custody, according to Shannon Sims, director of San Antonio Animal Care Services.
The investigation is in the preliminary stage and it is too early to determine what, if any, charges may be filed, authorities said.
