Two small children in Tennessee are dead after being mauled to death by the family's two pit bulls, according to police.
Around 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, two pit bulls viciously attacked a 2-year-old girl, a 5-month-old boy, and their mother inside their home in Millington, Tennessee, according to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office.
The toddler and the baby were pronounced dead at the home near Memphis.
The family's dogs also attacked the children's mother. She was rushed to Regional One in critical condition by Shelby County Fire paramedics. As of Thursday afternoon, the mother was upgraded to stable condition, according to detectives.
"The two pit bulls responsible for the attack were euthanized this afternoon by Memphis Animal Services," the Shelby County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Wow. Can you imagine an MSM outlet applying that kind of critical eye to crime reporting?
Mine would soft-mouth even wounded ducks and bring them to hand.
I’ve always heard they are raised to be attack dogs?
If true she,or her partner?, are responsible for her kids.
Deaths that is.
My point is you say your pit shouldn’t be ostracized. That people SHOULD know what they are getting.
Are you blaming the parents?
Shoukd they have kniwn based in data and facts that of dogs killing people 67% have been pits?
I live in a very nice neighborhood and have never felt safe about walking around in it. Almost nobody but me is below retirement age. But now and then I see someone walking a PB, so no, it’s never going to happen.
(Yes, I carry. Yes, it’s a gun friendly state. Doesn’t make a bit of difference in this case.)
Dogs ARE NOT like guns. A gun won’t just go off and start killing people for no reason.
They were bred for fighting in pits. Hence the name.
It’s a good thing I didn’t mention my pet great white shark.
I got a treadmill and an open window. In your shoes I'd go further: 1, buy the rental next door and evict them; 2, take your dreams more seriously.
Her excuse was probably, "when I said sic 'em I didn't really think they would do it."
I’ve owned, practically, all manner of dog (except toy breeds and Dachshunds). They’ve all been working dogs and I’ve never personified them or considered them as “pets.” When you get a dog, you have to familiarize yourself with the breed and its tendencies. Some people won’t let you get near their dogs because they don’t want the dogs ruined for the function for which the dogs were bred. Some people have unrealistic expectations of the animals they obtain as pets. I got my pitbull for a specific purpose (not fighting) but not as a toy! I know this dog. I know its potential and I control it much as I would a tool. Dogs are descendants of wolves and they ought to be regarded accordingly.
Good for you.
I personally know ONE Pit and OF two others and every one are loving, family dogs always around children.
The Canine is a gift from God . . . . THAT'S why a dog is man's best friend.
It's like any other friend relationship (except a dog will put up with a lot more than a human friend) . . . a reasonable amount of love and care will return an UNreasonable amount of love and devotion.
Pit bull fans call them “pitties”.
That’s a remarkably similar statistic to violence by a violent human subset.
And they want to ban Guns.
Like a cute name makes them less dangerous.
I pity the fool who gets a "pittie". nod to Mr. T
If you go by age, the subset gets even small to like 2-3%.
