A South Carolina mom had to have both her arms amputated after being savagely mauled by three pit bulls, her family says.
Ailing victim Kyleen Waltman, 38, also lost part of her colon and may have to have a section of her esophagus removed, too, her sister said.
“This is the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen,” sibling Amy Wynne told local TV station WYFF.
Kyleen remains in critical condition in the hospital since she was attacked by the dogs on a sidewalk in Honea Path northwest of Columbia on Monday.
Authorities said a man found Waltman being mauled by the dogs — and was eventually able to scare the animals off by firing his gun into the air.
The severely injured victim was airlifted to a nearby hospital.
Justin Minor, the owner of the three pit bulls, was charged in relation to the attack and released on a $15,000 surety bond on Thursday,
