Pit bull victim, 9, dies in hospital

Savannah R. Gragg, 9, of Kokomo died at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis Thursday afternoon, five days after
being severely injured by her family’s pit bull. The fourth-grade girl was opening a door at her home to let the dog
outside when it jumped on her, grabbed her by the neck and shook her violently. Gragg suffered trauma to her trachea, resulting
in a lack of oxygen to the brain.
