Gloria, unable to get out of bed, heard the dogs growling and started screaming for help. Immediately, the neighbors looked out from their roofs and watched how the three dogs tore the old woman apart, leaving her in a pool of blood.
Some of the neighbors opened the front door of the house, managed to drive the dogs away from the victim and push them into a room at the back of the house, but apparently it was too late, the old lady was unconscious, lying in a pool of blood in the middle of the backyard.
