Fatal Dog Attack Claims Life of New York Man

A 59-year-old man was killed by a pack of pit bulls in Albany, sparking a police investigation into the incident.

James Provost was attacked by eight or nine mixed-breed pit bulls in a backyard in Albany, New York.
Police responded to the scene and an officer shot one of the dogs to disperse the pack, but Provost was pronounced dead at the scene.
The dogs were kept at the property by an owner who lives elsewhere, and the reason for Provost's presence in the yard remains unclear.
Authorities are investigating the incident, and the fate of the surviving dogs will be determined by a judge.
Albany Police Chief Eric Hawkins noted there were no prior complaints about the dogs, though some were confiscated in May due to drug activity.
