A man was killed by three of his own dogs at a park in San Diego on Friday.

The man was reportedly walking his three dogs at Mesa Viking Park around noon when the dogs turned and attacked him. Bystanders called 911, and one man was seriously injured while trying to intervene.


The attack continued until police arrived and tased the dogs. Their owner died at a hospital.

“We don't exactly know what happened and what sparked this attack, but we are incredibly sorry for everyone involved and our hearts go out to the family and loved ones,” Nina Thompson with the San Diego Humane Society told KNX News’ Emily Valdez.
