Residents 'distressed' and 'concerned' for children's safety after man killed in 'horror' dog attack
Residents living in a village where a man was killed after being mauled by two dogs have described feeling "concerned" for the safety of their children.
Staffordshire Police were called to the scene on Main Street, Stonnall, just before 3.15pm on Thursday, to reports that a man had been attacked by two dogs outside a property.
Police say a number of people tried to get the dogs – which are now understood to be XL Bullys – off the man and successfully contained one outside and one in the owner's flat.
At the time of the incident, a number of children from a nearby school, St Peter's Church of England Primary Academy, were prevented from leaving for "safety reasons".
It has since been confirmed that the victim has died as a result of his injuries.
