Pit Bull Attacks Elderly Woman

According to police reports, the officers in Yorktown, New York were contacted and told that a pit bull had bitten a woman who was visiting the residency of another woman whose family had been through a lot of stress in the past two weeks. The dog belonged to a girl at the home who had committed suicide recently. Reportedly, as the victim came to the home, the dog came running through the door and bit her face, ear and most of her body.
