PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A 1-year-old girl was bitten by two dogs at a home in Northeast Philadelphia, according to police.
Police said the attack happened just before noon at a home on the 2200 block of Brighton Street.
The child was taken to Jefferson Frankford Hospital by a private car and was placed in critical condition.
Both dogs were shot inside the home, police said. A weapon was recovered.
Investigators said they are now trying to speak with the people who were at the home when the attack happened.
A neighbor just a few doors down heard the commotion.
"I was upstairs doing work for school and I was in a meeting and I heard shots," said the neighbor. "...It was more than a few, it was not a small amount. It wasn't two or three shots, that's for sure."
No arrests have been made.
