When sheriff's deputies arrived at the Conifer home of a woman who had been attacked by her son's two pit bulls Monday night, they found the 60-year-old clinging to life.
According to dispatch archives captured on Broadcastify.com, first responders worked to keep her alive using a tourniquet as medical personnel rushed in. A deputy called over the radio that the dogs still had not been contained but weren't being aggressive.
"She's barely conscious!" an officer told others heading to the scene.
Ultimately, authorities say, the woman — Susan Shawl — died at the home.
The dogs responsible for the attack had been on investigators' radar before, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. In 2008, Shawl's son, 36-year-old Richard Shawl, was issued a warning by deputies after a neighbor reported the pair were loose and being aggressive.
But investigators said Tuesday they weren't sure what prompted Monday's mauling, which also left Richard Shawl, who discovered the attack and called 911, with injuries.
"We don't really know," said Dionne Waugh, a sheriff's office spokeswoman. "(Richard Shawl) didn't see it. He just heard a disturbance and came out."
Authorities say the mother and son lived together at the home where the mauling happened.
