I'm posting a corrected list. It turns out (inside information from someone who was at the scene) that Julia Charging Whirlwind was killed by two pit bulls owned by a gang member.
10 dead by dog attack in North America so far in 2015. 7 killed by known pit bull type dogs / pit bull mixes. Stars (**) indicate that the killer was someone’s beloved ‘family pet’ pit bull that was never abused or neglected. The double dagger (‡) indicates that the ‘family pet’ pit bull belonged to the deceased person, their family or a relative.
