Dog attack-Va. Beach
VIRGINIA BEACH -- Two dogs were killed when neighbors' pit bulls jumped the fence and attacked, police said.
The pit bulls are being held while the owners, Christina Hatchell, 40, and Jocelyn Little, 29, go through the court process, according to MPO Margie Hobbs.
When police arrived on MacDonald Road Monday afternoon, one of the terriers was already dead; the other was badly injured and was taken to the vet. It died Thursday.
"We can't catch a break," said owner Tara Hassan. "We just got our house out of foreclosure and now this."
Police believe the pit bulls broke the stockade fences at their home on Choctaw Ct. and then jumped the chain link fence surrounding the Jack Russell terriers' yard.
Hatchell and Little each have been issued a summons for having a dangerous dog.
Hassan says her children, ages three and five, are devastated they've losted their pets.
The family is trying to get money to pay the vet bill.
