A 32-year-old pregnant woman from Pacifica was attacked and killed by her family's pet pit bull earlier today.
Pacifica Police received a 911 call at approximately 12:15 p.m. about a possible dog mauling in the 500 block of Reina Del Mar Avenue. The first officer to arrive on the scene located the victim, Darla Napora, lying in the front room of her home, police said.
"The victim had major trauma, was not breathing or responsive," Pacifica Police Chief Jim Tasa said.
The first responders' efforts to revive the woman were not successful.
The victim's husband, who had called the police and was also at the scene when they arrived, told police that their two-year-old male pit bull had attacked his wife after he left for work. He said the dog had been secured in their back yard before he left.
