According to both The Seattle Times and KOMO news, King County sheriff’s officers shot and killed two pit bulls who were attacking a 72-year old SeaTac woman Monday morning.

A call came in around 8am reporting the attack at South 150th Street and 30th Avenue South, said King County sheriff’s spokesman John Urquhart.

The elderly woman apparently hid nearby while a deputy shot and killed one of the dogs; the second dog ran off, but was shot and killed when it returned, he said.

The woman was taken to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries.
