A young girl died after she was mauled by her family dogs outside her home on Friday, Aug. 9, in Aripine, Ariz., per the Navajo County Sheriff’s Office Aug. 12 press release.
The nine-year-old child — who has not been publicly identified — was attacked after she ran outside the Aripine home “to turn off a water spigot,” according to the press release. Aripine is about 250 miles northeast of Phoenix.
On Friday evening, around 6:30 p.m., the child was at home “with many members of her family” and then went to turn off the water. But the dogs “for unknown reasons” attacked her, and she was left with “severe physical trauma,” per the press release.
Her family members and first responders attempted to provide her with medical help, but she succumbed to her injuries.
