Barstow, California - A pack of pit bulls surrounded a woman and mauled her to death, authorities said on Wednesday.
Police found Kelly Caldwell, 45, lying in the street at about 21:30 on Tuesday, and took her to a hospital, where she later died, said the San Bernardino County sheriff's department.
After the mauling, the dogs ran to a nearby house. Deputies shot one dog to death after it returned to the scene and acted aggressively as paramedics were trying to save Caldwell's life, authorities said.
A second dog was shot to death on Wednesday morning when it too returned. Deputies said it became aggressive as an animal control officer was trying to capture it.
Authorities said at least one dog belonged to a neighbour. No arrests were immediately made.
