5-year-old girl killed by family dogs at home in Covina
Authorities say the 5-year-old Covina girl grew up with the dogs involved in the attack, a Rottweiler and a Rottweiler mix, and there were no problems reported previously.
COVINA, Calif. — A 5-year-old girl is dead after she was attacked by her family dogs at her home in California on Sunday, authorities say.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies were called to a home in a gated community in the 2500 block of Palomino Drive in Covina around noon on Sunday.
They discovered that a 5-year-old girl had been attacked by the two family dogs in the backyard of the home.
Los Angeles County Fire paramedics brought the girl to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 1:23 p.m.
Investigators say the dogs responsible for the attack are a 10-year-old Rottweiler and a 6-year-old Rottweiler mix. Two other dogs live at the home – and all four pets were removed.
Investigators say the girl had lived with the dogs in the home all of her life with no prior reported incidents.
One other family members had minor injuries.
No foul play is suspected but the incident remains under investigation.

洛杉矶华裔5岁女童遭自家两只罗威纳犬袭击身亡
12月8日周日，在洛杉矶县科维纳市，一名5岁华裔女童在自己家中后院被两只罗威纳犬袭击致死……
据官方透露，这名女童是在位于Palomino Drive 2500号街区的一个封闭社区内被一只10岁的罗威纳犬和一只6岁的罗威纳犬混种狗共同袭击的。这两只狗一直与女童生活在一起，但此前从未发生过任何攻击事件。
获悉，事故发生在中午时分，有人向当局报案。洛杉矶县消防人员迅速赶到现场，将受伤女童送往波莫纳谷医院医疗中心，但不幸的是，女童于下午1点23分被宣布死亡。据法医办公室透露，女童的身份目前尚未公开。
警长Steve De Jong表示，女童与她的父亲住在一起，她的父母已经离婚。事发时，女童与父亲以及家中的四只狗都在院子里。除了发动袭击的两只罗威纳犬外，还有一只10岁的威玛犬和一只4岁的杜宾犬，它们并未参与袭击。然而，出于安全考虑，所有4只狗都被从家中带走。
据Steve描述，女童在院子里摔倒后，两只罗威纳犬开始攻击她。女童的父亲见状立即扑上去压在孩子身上，试图保护她免受狗的攻击。他大声呼救，其他住户也闻声赶来帮忙。然而，女童上半身和头部的伤口被证明是致命伤，最终来不及抢救身亡……
目前尚不清楚女童的父亲是否受伤，而这4只狗也将被隔离10天，如果狗主人想要回这些狗，则可能需举行听证会。
