A woman in the Lower Swift Bear Community on the Rosebud Reservation has been killed after being attacked by a pack of wild dogs.

The Mellette County Sheriff responded just before 6:30 Saturday morning. He reports that when he arrived, multiple dogs were still on the scene surrounding 49-year-old Julia Charging Whirlwind. The sheriff shot and killed two of the dogs so emergency crews could reach her.

Charging Whirlwind was taken by ambulance to a Rosebud Hospital, where she later died.

The Mellette County Sheriff also said that there have been multiple reports of wild dog attacks in recent weeks.
