Madison Riley Hull, a 23-year-old University of Texas at Tyler student, was fatally mauled by three pit bulls while pet-sitting at a home in Tyler, Texas. Hull, who was set to graduate in six months with a degree in early childhood education, had been caring for the family and their pets for several weeks. She went to the residence on November 21 to let the dogs inside when they suddenly attacked her in the backyard. A neighbour alerted authorities after hearing the struggle. A Smith County deputy arrived to find the dogs advancing toward him, prompting him to shoot one, allowing access to Hull. She died shortly after from severe injuries. Hull’s mother said the dogs had recently shown a “change in behaviour.” The Smith County Sheriff’s Office and District Attorney are reviewing the case to determine if charges will be filed against the owners.
