Pit bull kills woman, injures owner during Deltona attack.
Byline: Gary Taylor
Jun. 30--DELTONA
A pit bull so docile it shared a bed with its owners viciously attacked and killed a 63-year-old woman Friday, almost tearing off the thumb of one of its owners as she tried to get the dog off her sister.
It wasn't until a deputy sheriff shot the dog with a stun gun that it released its grip on the victim. By that time, it has almost pulled off the woman's scalp and bitten her severely about the face.
Mary J. Bernal died at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach, where she was airlifted after the 9 a.m. attack in the backyard of her sister's home on Roble Lane.
