Dog Mauls Boy Waiting For Bus
Child Sufferes Lacerations To Scalp, Injuries To Left Leg, Left Ear
SEVEN POINTS, Texas -- A 4-year-old boy was in stable condition Monday night in a Dallas hospital after he was mauled by a pit bull while waiting for a school bus near Seven Points.
The child, Jonathan Shane Ivey, suffered lacerations to his scalp and injuries to his left leg and his left ear, said Lt. Pat McWilliams, spokesman for the Henderson County Sheriff's Department.
McWilliams said the dog that attacked the boy, who was waiting with two older siblings for the Mabank school bus, was on a chain but was still able to reach the roadway, the Tyler Morning Telegraph reported in its Tuesday editions.
A man alleged to be the dog's owner was attacked when he tried to rescue the boy. The dog didn't release Jonathan until the man got a gun and shot and killed the dog, McWilliams said.
Authorities were trying to determine through vaccinations and other records who owned the animal.
The boy was flown by helicopter to Children's Medical Center Dallas for treatment.
The sheriff's investigation of the mauling will be turned over to prosecutors to determine if charges should be filed, McWilliams said.
