- A 3-year-old Minnesota boy, Covil Allen, who was attacked by two pit bulls last week, is not expected to survive, according to his family.
- Covil’s family was at a home in Brooklyn Park where dogs were being sold, and police believed they were there to buy a dog.
- During the attack, adults used hammers and pick axes to try to fend off the dogs, according to the warrant.
A 3-year-old Minnesota boy who was attacked by two pit bulls last week is not expected to survive, his family said.
The parents of Covil Allen are preparing their son to be an organ donor, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Friday. An online campaign is raising funds to help Covil’s parents cope with expenses related to the July 19 attack in the backyard of a home.
A search warrant obtained by WCCO-TV said Covil’s family was at a home in Brooklyn Park where dogs were being sold. Police said they believed that the child’s parents were there to buy a dog.

Police officers arrived and saw the dogs attacking the child and shot both animals, police said. One dog was killed and the other was taken to a veterinary hospital and euthanized.
The fundraising posting said Covil’s mother also was bitten, on the leg, and has had several surgeries.
Police said an investigation continues into the attack on Covil and another dog bite incident on Tuesday, when a 7-year-old girl was attacked by a loose dog. She was not badly hurt. Officers killed the dog when it then tried to attack a boy, police said.
Brooklyn Park police Inspector Elliot Faust said larger conversations are underway with city leaders and elected officials about dog attacks.

One person is dead after a shooting in South Minneapolis on Monday.
Minneapolis Police have confirmed with 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that one person has died following a shooting early Monday morning on the city’s south side.
A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS photographer captured video of the scene, located on 13th Avenue south near East Lake Street in the Phillips neighborhood, just after 3 a.m. Multiple squads, as well as a mobile crime lab, were also spotted.
According to police, responding officers found a man outside on a sidewalk with a life-threatening injury, and began providing aid. However, more police were requested to arrive at the scene due to what the department says was an uncooperative and hostile crowd.
Officers were eventually able to disperse the crowd, allowing EMS and firefighters to arrive. Despite their efforts, police say the man died at the scene. His name and age are expected to be released at a later time.
Although an investigation is underway to determine what exactly led up to the shooting, police say their preliminary information shows there was a group gathered in the area before shots were fired.
13th Avenue was blocked off for a period of time.
As of this time, no one has been arrested.
If you have information about the shooting, you’re asked to call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or at www.CrimeStoppersMN.org.
No other details have been released as of this publishing.

Indianapolis, IN – Labor Day in Indianapolis brings clear skies and mild temperatures, offering perfect conditions for outdoor activities. With highs reaching 77°F, today is ideal for barbecues, picnics, or a day at the park. However, as the week progresses, temperatures are expected to rise, reaching the mid-80s by Wednesday and Thursday.
According to the US National Weather Service Indianapolis, temperatures this week are slightly above normal, with the possibility of 90-degree days returning midweek. This brief heatwave comes after a summer that ended with above-average temperatures and slightly below-normal precipitation levels.
