Investigators told WAAY 31 was killed after being attack by her neighbor’s five Pit Bulls at her home on County Road 121 around 9 a.m. Thursday.
“She had the biggest heart of anybody that you can ever meet. You may have just met her, but she could put a big smile on your face no matter what she said.” Colvin's friend Tiger Frazier said.
Still in disbelief that her friend was viciously attacked and killed by the neighbor’s dogs, Fraizer said Colvin complained about the pit bulls to her and coworkers before the attack.
Sheriff Chuck Phillips told WAAY 31 after the dog attacked Emily, a relative came to her aid and was also attacked by the dogs. The relative was taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Colvin's husband was not home at the time of the attack.
Neighbors told WDZX dogs often run loose in the neighborhood.
Marcell Stiefel said, "I killed two dogs the other day."
Stiefel lives in this same neighborhood and says he was recently attacked by a pack of dogs.
He isn't sure who they belong to, but says they have been terrorizing his chickens for weeks."
They tore into my chicken pen and one of them attacked me and I shot it," said Stiefel.
Steifel told Animal Control dogs often run loose in the area.
Sheriff Chuck Phillips said, "This is something very, very uncommon, although it's happened twice recently, I know a lot of attention has been brought on to pit bull dogs."
Sheriff Phillips said his office plans to file charges against the owner of the pit bulls.
