The dog was wandering in the road when it attracted the attention of a woman who was driving through the residential neighborhood around 11:30 a.m., said Wilton Police Lt. Donald Wakeman. Initially worried about the dog’s safety, the woman got out of the car and tried to corral it, Wakeman said. But the dog acted aggressively toward her, and she returned to her car. Another motorist then came by, and together the two were able to get the dog into Murray’s driveway. Then they heard Murray, who was hiding under a vehicle in the driveway, injured and calling for help. Police Capt. John Lynch was the first officer to arrive, a release states. He shot and killed the dog. Murray had bite injuries up and down her body, Wakeman said, from her legs to the side of her head. She lost one arm completely and the other below the elbow, he said.
