PERKINS (AP) — The state Medical Examiner's Office is releasing the name of an 8-month-old boy who was mauled to death by dogs near Perkins.
A spokeswoman for the medical examiner says Justin Lopez died of blunt force trauma to the head during the attack Monday. The attack occurred on Iowa Tribe land near Perkins.
Tribal Administrator Stephanie Ramsey says two adult dogs attacked the infant after the animals were brought inside for shelter from the rain.
Ramsey says the dogs were given to the family the day before the attack. She declined to say what breed the animals are.
