The Penobscot County Sheriff's Office is investigating a dog attack in Corinna that killed a 7-year-old boy.

The sheriff's office, assisted by the Mayo Regional Hospital Emergency Medical Service ambulance, responded around 5:15 p.m. Saturday to a report of a dog attack on Moody Mills Road in Corinna. Deputies found a 7-year-old boy had been killed as a result of the attack.

The attack remained under investigation Sunday.

No other parties were injured in the attack. The dog was impounded.
