NORTH CAROLINA -- One child was killed and his brother was injured after a Sunday dog attack in Robeson County.
Family members told WRAL News that 7-year-old Talen West and 8-year-old Jaylen West were playing in the woods near a home at 2484 Odum Road in Lumberton late Sunday morning when they encountered a neighbor’s pit bull.
The dog attacked both children. Emergency crews were called at about 11:20 a.m. and they found Talen West unresponsive upon arrival. The brothers were taken to Southeastern Medical Center, where Talen West died.
Authorities said he had severe puncture wounds on his body.
Jaylen West was treated for leg injuries and released.
Robeson County sheriff’s deputies are investigating to determine whether charges will be filed.
