Wenatchee Woman Attacked By Pit Bull In Home; Dog Killed

Posted: Updated:

WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) - A Wenatchee woman suffered bite wounds to an arm and other parts of her body in an attack by a pit bull dog in her home.
    
Police say the dog belonged to a member of her household and was in the basement Wednesday when she went to check on it and was attacked.
    
The Wenatchee World reports (http://bit.ly/WxoNIo) officers with the Wenatchee Valley Human Society asked police for help. The dog was stunned with a Taser and then killed because it was so aggressive.
    
The 43-year-old woman is in satisfactory condition Thursday at Central Washington Hospital.

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Wind, humidity and rainfall combined precisely to create the massive killer tornado in Moore, Okla. And when they did, the awesome amount of energy released over that city dwarfed the power of the atomic bomb that leveled Hiroshima. Meteorologists contacted by The Associated Press used real time measurements to calculate the energy released during the storm's life span of almost an hour.
