Pit bull kills 11-year-old Killeen boy

KILLEEN (AP) — An 11-year-old boy has died after being bitten on the neck by his family's pit bull, police said.

The Killeen Police Department said the dog jumped from the couch at Seth Lovitt when the boy was running through his home with his little brother Tuesday evening. The dog knocked Seth to the ground and bit him.

Seth's grandmother and mother restrained the dog and called 911. Seth was pronounced dead about two hours later at Darnall Army Medical Center, police said.

We will conduct a search to determine the amount of death by dogs in Texas this year.

According to sources, the dog has been quarantined, not put to death.
