It appears as though a pit bull attack has claimed another life, with a woman in Washington D.C found to have been mauled to death by her pet this past Sunday. D.C Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) responded to a home in the 1300 block of Dexter Terrace Southeast in the city at around 6:30 p.m. following reports of a dog attack.

According to the Daily Mail, the victim was later identified as one 55-year-old Angela Smith. She was rushed to the hospital for treatment but she succumbed to the life-threatening wounds she had sustained in the vicious attack. She was unconscious and suffering from what the police described as "multiple trauma wounds" and was pronounced dead a short while later.
