90-year-old woman dies following ‘vicious’ dog attack in Virginia

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – There’s still blood inside a home in Virginia Beach after a dog attacked a 90-year-old woman.

Police say they got called to the home around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. Medics rushed the woman to the hospital with serious injuries, but she died early Thursday morning.

The victim’s daughter, Linda, said it was a vicious and unprovoked attack. She says her mother underwent surgery, including an arm amputation, before she died around 6:30 a.m.

“I’ve never in my life seen an animal like that,” said Linda, who said it was like watching an animal kill another animal in the wild.
