SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMAN MAULED TO DEATH BY DOGS IN BARSTOW, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
A tragedy occurred on December 25, 2007 when a San Bernardino County woman was mauled to death by a pack of pit bulls in Barstow. The victim was 45 year old Kelly Caldwell who was found lying in the street Tuesday night by police after they were called to a home in Yermo. She was taken to a nearby hospital but was later pronounced dead according to San Bernardino County sheriff’s department. Authorities say that three pit bulls surrounded and then attacked the woman, and then ran to a nearby house. One of the dogs returned to the scene while paramedics were trying to save the victim’s life, and deputies were forced to shoot the dog as it started acting aggressively. Another dog was shot to death the next morning as an animal control office was attempting to capture it. Deputies said that the second animal also became very aggressive. Authorities have said that at least one of the dog belonged to a neighbor, but no arrests have been made.
