A gruesome scene in a neighborhood in Hazel Park.
Several dogs attacked their owner, leaving her with multiple injuries.
Fox 2's Ingrid Kelly is live tonight in Hazel Park,
outside the police station,
with exactly what happened over there.
And just a terrifying story, Ingrid.
Oh, it's horrific. You know, when police actually arrived,
they found that homeowner down on the ground
in her driveway with three dogs attacking her. Take a look.
You know, investigators say the dogs were upset that a stray puppy
was brought into the home, so they attacked their owner.
An officer deployed her taser, but it did not end that attack.
Instead, this happened.
That's when one of the dogs had turned
on the officer and bit the officer.
After the dog had bit the officer,
the officer was able to get the dog off of her.
She ended up discharging her firearm at that dog.
We believe the officer was able to hit the dog
and the dog started to run away.
When a second officer had intervened
and fired his gun at the wounded dog, putting that dog down.
The other, the second
and third dog they had ran off back out here live.
You know, those dogs were located a short time later
and right now they're at the city's dog pound.
Now that homeowner suffered many injuries to her neck, both arms
and both legs. And right now she's recovering at a local hospital.
Fortunately, my officers were able to arrive.
And to be honest with you, I think that they saved her life.
And I'm proud of the officers and how they performed.
It was a chaotic scene. You have three dogs that were circling
and they were able to help this woman.
Yeah, back out here live, you know to be a dog owner in the city
of Hazel Park, there are rules that you must follow.
The dog has to be vaccinated, licensed and also you can only have up
to three dogs inside the home. Back to you, Ruth.
