Dogs on the attack race into elementary school

FALMOUTH, Mass. -- A pair of rottweilers terrorized an East Falmouth school on Thursday, leaving several victims injured.

Three, 9-year-old students -- two boys and a girl -- as well as a teacher's aide were taken to the hospital after being bitten at Teaticket Elementary School by the four-legged predators on their backs, arms and shoulders.

All the victims are said to be in stable condition.

After reportedly getting free from their fenced-in home, the dogs first attacked on the school playground before racing inside the school. Students subsequently were forced to stay inside their classrooms with the doors closed until Animal Control officers caught the canines.

The pair was taken to a local pound, along with another dog that was found at the animals' residence.

Classes at the school did remain in session for the remainder of the day.
