Pack of wild dogs kills woman on Rosebud Reservation
A 49-year-old woman on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota has died following an attack from a pack of wild dogs.
Mellette County Sheriff Mike Blom tells KELO-TV he found 49-year-old Julie Charging Whirlwind surrounded by dogs around 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning. He says he shot and killed two of the dogs so emergency responders could reach the woman.
Charging Whirlwind was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where she later died. She was from the Lower Swift Bear Community of the reservation.
Blom says there have been multiple reports of wild dog attacks in recent weeks.
