Locals said the dogs have stalked the area for months, terrifying residents.

A witness phoned the cops when they saw the 54-year-old getting mauled saying: "They're eating this woman. I mean they're killing her.

"And we're trying to stop it.

"There's blood all over the place. And these dogs have tasted it."

Police responded firing dozens of shots to put down the vicious animals on Saturday night.

The mother-of-three suffered life changing injuries and remains in a critical condition in hospital.

She has already had an arm amputated and may lose a leg, her family said.

Shocking police bodycam footage shows one officer running to the scene then asking a colleague: "Where’s she at?"

The officer responds: "Right there! She’s over there! I got one. They went inside the house.

"I shot one, but there’s still one and they ran into a house."

The cop wearing the bodycam goes to find the victim.

He asks a witness: "All right. Where’s the person that’s bit?"

5 All four of the dogs involved in the incident have been killed

"Right here, man. They’ve been chewing on her for like f***ing 40 minutes," the witness responds.

As the officer tries to talk to Terri, one of the dogs runs back out and more shots are let off.

Another officer can be heard saying: "Come on dog, don’t do this.”

Calvin Stevenson who lives down the street described a gruesome scene.

"It was like the dog had already ripped her flesh off and was holding on to the bone and just wouldn’t let go," he said.

All four pit bulls have now been killed.

The owners of the pit bulls told a local news channel on Monday that they had plumbers working in the back yard on Saturday who accidentally left the gate open.

Police are investigating to see if the owners will face any charges.

Terri Cosby's family have set up a GoFundMe page to try and raise money for her medical bills and recovery.
