Pit Bull Kills Owner's 4-Year-Old Daughter
Police say a pit bull fatally attacked a 4-year-old girl who was watching television in a southern Louisiana apartment and injured the girl's mother when the woman pulled her daughter away.
Houma Police Chief Todd Duplantis says that 27-year-old Megan Touchet barricaded herself and her daughter, Mia Derouen, into a bedroom Tuesday evening and called 911. He says she handed her child out a second-floor apartment window to a rescue worker on a balcony.
He said Wednesday that officers shot and killed the dog, which was still being aggressive.
Duplantis did not know whether the girl was on a sofa or chair or on the floor when she was attacked.
She was bitten on the face and head. Touchet remained hospitalized Wednesday.
