Few more pitbull attacks:
STOCKTON, Calif. (KCRA) —A man died after being attacked by a pit bull in a Stockton neighborhood, officers said.
Deputies were called about 4 p.m. Saturday to the 500 block of North Gertrude Avenue
Neighbors said the man, identified as Earl Stephens Jr., 43, of Stockton, was visiting a friend, who owned the pit bull, and was walking to get something out of his car when the dog attacked, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office..
Stephens' wife and the owner tried to get the dog off Stephens, but the dog also started to snap at the owner, neighbors said. Two pit bull puppies also attacked the victim but were eventually pulled away.
When deputies arrived, they found an aggressive pit bull loose in the yard, and Stephens was bleeding and suffering from numerous bites, officers said.
Deputies shot and killed the dog, and Stephens was taken to a hospital for treatment. He later died of his injuries.
Neighbors said they were surprised about the attack because the dog was usually friendly to people he knew.
An investigation is underway.
