(Allegheny County, PA) An investigation into an incident of two people getting attacked by their own dog in their Allegheny County home and suffering life-threatening injuries is ongoing. Allegheny County 911 officials told WPXI that police and EMS were called to a home in the 5900 block of Meade Street in Elizabeth Township before around 9:30 a.m. yesterday. The victims were taken to area hospitals with life-threatening injuries. Police shot and killed the dog. Additionally, a neighbor has taken in another dog that was in the home. According to an Elizabeth Township official, the home was found to be in deplorable conditions. The Elizabeth Township Building Inspector later condemned the house and deemed it “unlivable” and “unsafe.” He told WPXI that the house was purchased recently by new owners and police state that the house is a rental property.
