An Ohio family is grieving the loss of their 7-month-old daughter who was mauled to death by one of their three pit bulls on Wednesday.
Elizah Turner was rushed to a nearby fire station and then taken to Nationwide Children’s Hospital at around noon, but she couldn’t be saved.
“I will never understand why!!! I am so lost and broken. This was the same dog who was side by side with my baby every single day,” Elizah’s mother said.
The victim was described as a “spunky, happy” infant who “was never without a smile.”
“There is really not a lot of words I can say to convey how I feel and how the officers who arrived [feel],” Columbus Police Sgt. James Fuqua said.
“Everyone in this process is literally grieving as if this child belonged to us because most of us are parents and can’t imagine just how this scene is.”
The incident was deemed a tragic accident, and no charges are expected.
