An 80-year-old man was killed and two others are in the hospital after a serious dog attack on the city’s West Side, according to officials.
The 81-year-old man and 74-year-old woman who were visiting friends in the area were attacked by two dogs from a neighboring property after exiting their vehicle, according to the San Antonio Police Department. Witnesses reported that the dogs had broken through the front gate of their home just before the incident, authorities said.
The couple were both mauled in the attack, which occurred on the sidewalk, and transported to a local hospital, according to San Antonio Fire Department Chief Charles Hood. The man died due to his injuries, while the woman remains in critical condition, Hood said.
The owner of the dogs now faces felony charges, police said.
The incident occurred around 1:45 p.m. local time in a residential area of San Antonio.
