HODGES, S.C. —
Authorities said a 65-year-old woman was mauled to death by a dog while she was babysitting a toddler at a Hodges home.
Greenwood County deputies said another child in the home called 911 around 8 p.m. Tuesday to report the dog attack and that she had got the other people in the home out safely.
Authorities said officers found a bit pull with blood on it in the home and the body of Betty Todd. She had been bitten in the neck, head and face.
The dog was aggressive toward deputies, but the animal's owner arrived and was able to get the dog into a room until an animal control officer could arrive.
Deputies said they likely won't file charges in the case.
