Tonight, round 9 p.m., a canine attack in a residence on the 3200 block of Glen Street in Eureka resulted in critical accidents to a 54-year-old lady. According to a report over the scanner, the lady was attacked by a pit bull and has “very large wounds to most of her extremities.”
Eureka Police Officers needed to rescue the lady with pepper spray and different means from no less than two dogs. Initial studies counsel that one other individual, presumably a juvenile, was current within the home in the course of the incident–presumably in one other a part of the home–and managed to name for emergency help.

The officer reported over the scanner to dispatch that the state of affairs was critical. He acknowledged, “She’s wanting us to pepper spray the dogs, but she is going to get some cross contamination.”
Soon after he advised dispatch, “She is stating she is bleeding really bad” Then, only a bit later, he acknowledged, “The only option we have is to pepper spray or taze them.”
