WEST VIRGINIA -- Police say a pit bull attacked and killed a man who was trying to help the dog's ill owner.
The incident occurred late Sunday night at a home on 14th Street in East Wheeling, West Virginia.
Police had to force their way into the home where they found two victims, one unconscious and one badly injured, and the pit bull.
Lt. Phil Redford says police believe the dog's owner suffered a heart attack and that the other man was attacked by the dog as he tried to resuscitate the owner.
A police department news release says both people were pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Their names haven't been released, as police work to notify their families.
Ohio County Animal Control removed the dog from the home and placed it in quarantine.
No further information has been released.
