PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) — A pack of dogs remained under quarantine at a Mojave Desert shelter on Friday as investigators tried to determine whether they were involved in a mauling that killed a jogger.
By afternoon, Los Angeles County sheriff's homicide investigators had not announced any DNA match between the six pit bulls seized Thursday and the four believed to have attacked the woman in the high desert neighborhood of Littlerock earlier in the day, Deputy Guillermina Saldana said.
The county coroner's office identified her on Friday as Pamela Marie Devitt, 63, a local resident.
A woman in a car saw pit bulls attacking the runner in the area 65 miles northeast of Los Angeles. The driver called 911 and honked her horn to try to get the dogs to stop, sheriff's Lt. John Corina said.
An arriving deputy saw a single dog still attacking the jogger and tried to chase it off, Corina said.
"The dog ran off into the desert, then turned around and attacked the deputy," who took a shot at the animal before it ran off, Corina said.

I shot a pit bull to death a few years ago. I was tinkering in the garage with the door up, and the beast ran into the garage and grabbed one of my daughter's pets. My wife and I beat the SOB in the head with 2x4s but it would NOT let go. Emptied a 6-round clip into the dog.
