A dog mauled its owner to death at her home in Boston, Massachusetts, on Monday before attacking police, NBC10 Boston reported.

Police identified the woman as 73-year-old Jeriline Brady-McGinnis.

Her husband was also badly injured during the attack, but is expected to survive.

Civil rights leader Jean McGuire, the couple’s landlord, lives above their apartment.

“She’s a wonderful person,” McGuire said about Brady-McGinnis. “She was generous and kind, always thinking of other people … We all miss Jeri. You don’t want anything horrible to happen to anybody, anywhere. She was a wonderful mother and a fine person, very respected.”

When police responded to the call that afternoon, they arrived to find the owners badly mauled.

While providing aid, the dog — a pit bull mix named “Deuce” — bit both officers, forcing them to shoot it, The Boston Globe reported.

“Deuce” was a loving dog and wouldn’t hurt a fly.

People will never learn to not have a pit bull. They’re wonderful dogs until they’re not so wonderful and they try to kill you, often succeeding. I’m sticking with Labrador Retrievers. I don’t have to worry about our two trying to kill us.
