Dog killed 4-year-old as mother tried to fight it off

The mom turned her back on her sweet, 4-year-old boy just for a moment.

And that, police said, is when Bolo, the pit bull, pounced. It violently and viciously mauled Benjamin Cobb to death, as his 38-year-old Hazel Park mother, Brandi Halterman, tried to fight the 60-pound animal off, stabbing it, first with nearby scissors, then with a steak knife she ran to the kitchen to get.

I work at the library right near where the live and the whole town is in shock; they were simply doing a favor for a friend and keeping the dog for a few days while the friend moved. She was in the room with her son and daughter and turned her back for a minute to do something, heard the growl, ran over and the dog was locked on.
I feel so badly for this mother and the teen aged daughter who was there. She called 911 immediately but nothing could be done
