This is so terrible!

Washington Post reports a woman was killed in a dog attack in Southeast Washington Sunday evening, authorities said.

A police spokeswoman said in an e mail that officers were “investigating a fatal dog attack” in the 1300 block of Dexter Terrace SE. The attack was reported about 6:30 p.m. and apparently occurred indoors, authorities said.

The circumstances of the attack were not immediately known.

The dog was removed from the property and humanely euthanized, said a spokesman for the Humane Rescue Alliance. The alliance is the District’s animal control contractor.
