WASHINGTON (AP) - Authorities say a dog attacked and killed a woman inside her Washington home.
Citing an email from a Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman, news outlets report that the fatal dog attack was reported Sunday evening, and took place indoors.
The exact circumstances of the attack are unknown.
A spokesman for the city’s animal control contractor, Humane Rescue Alliance, says the dog was removed from the property and humanely euthanized. A spokesman for the District of Columbia Department of Health did not know what the dog’s breed was.
The unidentified woman lived in southeast Washington, a few blocks from the Anacostia Metro station.
