Texas: Boy, 7, reportedly killed by 2 pit bulls

TEXAS -- A 7-year-old boy died after he was apparently attacked by two pit bulls along a road. Deputies had to shoot the dogs before they could reach him, authorities said.

A driver saw Tanner Monk lying beside a road near Breckenridge on Sunday with two dogs nearby, Stephens County Sheriff Jim Reeves said.

Tanner was found alone 50 to 75 yards from the house of a neighbor who owned the pit bulls.

No one has been arrested.
