PERKINS, Okla. — An official with the Iowa Tribe in Perkins says two rottweilers that attacked and killed an 8-month-old boy have been destroyed.
Tribal Administrator Stephanie Ramsey said in a statement Wednesday that the two dogs were given to the infant’s family on Sunday. Ramsey says the dogs mauled Justin Josiah Big Soldier-Lopez on Monday after being brought into the home because it was raining.
The attack happened on tribal land near Tryon.
The state medical examiner’s office reported the baby died of blunt force trauma to the head.
