Fire and police were called to the home of the girl and her parents in the center of Strépy-Bracquegnies around 11 p.m. on Sunday evening. Her mother had returned home to find her daughter on the ground after being attacked by an American Staffordshire terrier.

The girl was still fighting for her life at the time, but could not be saved. The prosecutor’s office has launched an investigation into what happened in the house. Two other dogs would have been present, but they would have nothing to do with the girl’s death.

The animal that killed the girl belongs to the mother’s friend. When police arrived, the dog was still aggressive. According to the prosecutor, the officers had no choice but to shoot the animal.
