HOOKSTOWN, Pa. (AP) - January 20, 2009
State police say Brianna Nicole Shanor was outside shortly
before 7 p.m. Monday but said she was cold and was going back to
the house. Trooper Rocco DeMaiolo says she apparently went near the
mixed-breed dog chained outside an old camping trailer. She was
found inside the trailer.
Beaver County Coroner Teri Tatalovich-Rossi says the girl was
bitten in different places on her body including her neck. She was
pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The dog has been quarantined
by an officer from Lawrence County.
DeMaiolo says it appears the girl's death was an accident, but
he and the coroner's office will consult with the county's district
attorney.
