BEL-NOR, MO. (AP) -- A suburban St. Louis man undergoes surgery after being attacked by two pit bulls.
It happened this morning in north St. Louis County. Police say the man had several bites to the arms and legs. He was badly hurt but his injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The man who was attacked is a relative of the homeowner. Police spokeswoman Tracy Panus says he was playing with the dogs when the attack occurred.
A neighbor saw the attack and shot the dogs. One dog died. The other was euthanized later in the day.
Police don't know what prompted the attack. The victim's name has not been released.
