MMMMMMMM
A 9-year-old girl was killed after being attacked by her family's dogs last week in Aripine, according to the Navajo County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded to a residence on South Drive at around 6:31 p.m. on Aug. 9 after receiving a 911 call reporting the incident.

Officials say the girl ran outside to turn off a water spigot when the dogs attacked the girl for "unknown reasons" despite having been familiar with the family and children.

Family members and eventually emergency medical personnel attempted to render aid to the girl, but she ultimately succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead, the agency said.

The Navajo County Sheriff's Office and Navajo County Animal Control were investigating the incident.
