Baby mauled to death by family pitbull in dog attack as heartbroken mum pleads tot was alongside animal ‘every day’
AN adorable seven-month-old baby girl has been mauled to death by the family’s pitbull in a harrowing attack.
Little Elizah Turner was bitten by one of her family’s three pitbulls on inside their home in Columbus, Ohio.
The tot was rushed to a nearby fire station on Wednesday before being taken to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead around 11.43am.
Cops said there were multiple dogs inside the home at the time of the horror, but it’s still unclear which one bit the infant.
Columbus Police Sgt. James Fuqua told local outlet WBNS the incident is being treated as a “tragic accident” and no charges are expected.
“There is really not a lot of words I can say to convey how I feel and how the officers who arrived [feel],” he added.
“Everyone in this process is literally grieving as if this child belonged to us because most of us are parents and can’t imagine just how this scene is.”
