An investigation is underway and two dogs are dead after an Amazon driver’s body was found in someone’s yard just outside of Excelsior Springs.
Ray County Sheriff Scott Childers said that they received a call around 8:30 p.m. Monday regarding an Amazon van that had been outside a residence for several hours, KCTV reported.
Deputies said when they arrived at the scene, they found a deceased male in someone’s front yard. It appears that he was an Amazon driver.
At this point, Childers was told that there were two dogs at the scene who had been aggressive toward deputies and medical staff. The dogs had gone back inside the house.

Oh my goodness! What a nightmare for the family of the delivery person.
I’m going to blindly guess pit bulls, or pit bull mix.
Of course there are other dangerous breeds...
The opening sentence of this report sounds like the dogs were murdered.
Poor driver RIP
This is awful.
Over/under on the breed?
Just wondering if the delivery was on behalf of Chewy.
Get between a couple of canines and their Chewy, and who knows what can happen.
I’m guessing pit bulls or Rottweilers. I’m surprised this kind of thing doesn’t happen more often.
You can’t “murder” any living creature except humans. I suspect the dogs were “put down”, though.
I agree. Poorly written, but par from today’s journalists.
Chewy usually goes FedEx home delivery...
Terrible. Dogs not leashed are potentially bad dogs.
Is pepper spray or anything short of a gun useful against pit bulls?
PEOPLE on the other hand, go out of their way to train a dog to BE a killer.
I would like them to quarantine the dog and see if he can be loved out of aggression, and jail the people that made him aggressive UNTIL the dog was broken.
And if the dog can't be broken ?
Oh well.
“Dispatched” is the term used by the deputy who did it. Later in the brief article.
Not included in excerpt.
From the article:
“I dispatched both dogs,” Childers ultimately stated.
Horrible. As someone else said, I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.
Stories like this hit close to home. We have neighbors who used to let their three pit bulls run loose. One tried to bite a delivery guy’s butt and all three chased a kid on his bike. The police said the dogs had to be chained/penned or be destroyed. I wish they’d just destroyed them. The dogs still get loose occasionally, and it’s nerve-racking not knowing when a pit bull might come out to greet you. Of course, the people are typical pit owners - “But they’re the sweetest dogs!!”
I would generally agree with you that the problem with dogs are the owners just like the heart of the problem with delinquents are the parents.
But you do not have to train a pit bull to be a killer. You have to train it not to be a killer. You have to train a Labrador to be a killer you do not have to train it not to be a killer.
