An 81-year old Texas man lost his life and three others remain injured after being attacked by two dogs.
The San Antonio Police said, “The attack occurred as the man, whose identity we will not be releasing at this time, visited a relative with a female companion.”
Witnesses of the horrific attack claim that the two dogs were American Staffordshire Terrier breeds. It was discovered that the dogs had broken through the front gate of a nearby home just before the incident occurred.
A witness said, “I saw the dogs attack the couple as they stepped out of their car and bit the person on the hand. The dogs also injured a San Antonio Fire Department captain after it bit him on his leg. It was gruesome and insane to witness.”
SAFD Chief Charles Hood said that the department had to fight the dogs off with pickaxes and pike poles as soon as they arrived.
“This is not something normal for us. We usually don’t show up and have to defend patients from animals or ourselves,” he said. “Horrific scene, horrific for the people who experienced it and horrific for our firefighters that were part of this.”
San Antonio Animal Care Services added in Friday’s press release that they had identified three dogs that belong to the property where the attack took place. All three remain under their custody and are scheduled to be euthanized on Friday night.
Information obtained during a preliminary investigation into the attack shows that the SAPD responded to a prior incident relating to the dogs in November.
During a visit to the property by SAPD officials, the property’s owner was told that the dogs needed to stay inside the property. At least two of the dogs were also involved in a pair of confirmed bite cases in January and September 2021.
Multiple charges are pending concerning the incident as the SAACS and the SAPD continue to investigate. The City of San Antonio is also reviewing any related 911 and 311 call history associated with the area of the attack.
I’m willing to bet that the owner of these vicious animals is either an illegal immigrant or a Democrat. Heck, they might be both. I don’t know how many times I have to say it, but tragedies like this didn’t happen when Trump was President! How long will people put up with Biden & his lax attitude towards illegal immigrants with bloodthirsty canines??? Well I’m fed up & I’ll be voting for Trump in 2024!
