An 11-year-old girl in Murray County was killed by two family dogs on Saturday night, authorities said.

An incident report from the Murray County Sheriff’s Office said two family dogs allegedly attacked and killed Skylar Grace Headrick at the family’s home on Dunn Road West in Crandall, Georgia.

The two dogs were both Neapolitan mastiffs.

According to the incident report, Skylar’s older sister found her in the basement of their home after coming home from work about 1:45 a.m. Sunday. The sister then went and told their father, who later told officers he noticed blood on the fur of both the dogs.

The father told police the dogs had no history of violence with humans but were occasionally rough with each other.
