Elmhurst, IL —

Elmhurst Police released the names of the two victims mauled by pit bulls Monday in Elmhurst.

Robert Moore, 63, suffered “severe injuries to his arms and legs,” and was treated by Elmhurst Paramedics and transported to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood.

He remains at the hospital in stable condition, police said.

The second victim, Patricia Koprowski, 70, was transported to Elmhurst Memorial Hospital with injuries to her arm from a dog bite. She was treated and released, police said.

Elmhurst police responded to a 911 call around 5 p.m. requesting help for dogs attacking people in a home in the 600 block of Kenilworth Avenue.

Police arrived and shot the first dog as it was attacking Moore on the front porch, police said.
As an officer attempted to subdue the second dog, it turned to attack other officers on the scene and the officer shot it in self-defense with a shotgun, police said.

Elmhurst Police would not say who owned the dogs. A shift sergeant said that he was not aware of any pending charges.

Interesting read from one of the links on the mauling website:

http://dogbitelaw.com/dog-bite-stati...y-to-kill.html

In recent years, the dogs responsible for the bulk of the homicides are pit bulls and Rottweilers:

"Studies indicate that pit bull-type dogs were involved in approximately a third of human DBRF (i.e., dog bite related fatalities) reported during the 12-year period from 1981 through1992, and Rottweilers were responsible for about half of human DBRF reported during the 4 years from 1993 through 1996....[T]he data indicate that Rottweilers and pit bull-type dogs accounted for 67% of human DBRF in the United States between 1997 and 1998. It is extremely unlikely that they accounted for anywhere near 60% of dogs in the United States during that same period and, thus, there appears to be a breed-specific problem with fatalities." (Sacks JJ, Sinclair L, Gilchrist J, Golab GC, Lockwood R. Breeds of dogs involved in fatal human attacks in the United States between 1979 and 1998. JAVMA 2000;217:836-840.)


And from another link on that page:

Old hags were probably teasing the dog with their cane. We need more old people off the streets.
Good job Pitbull!
