Woman Describes Attack

Douglas County authorities said Connie Simonds, 53 (pictured, left), was walking three dogs around in a green belt/open space area in Highlands Ranch when she was attacked by two pit bulls.

"And they just ran straight to my dogs and pulled me down," said Simonds. "And so they were taking turns with the dogs and me."

A group of boys heard her screams, grabbed their hockey sticks and went to her rescue. They began hitting the pit bulls, trying to get them to stop attacking.

"When we were hitting they didn't even feel it," said Nic Marabito. "It was scary."

When deputies arrived at the Dad Clark Trail, located behind the 3000 block of Clairton Drive, they found the dogs still biting the woman and her dogs. The pit bulls then turned toward them and started racing in their direction, deputies said.

The deputies shot the charging pit bulls, killing them instantly.

Investigators had been looking for the dog's owners since the attack. They were able to determine that the dogs were being looked after at a home in 3000 block of Clairton Drive in Highlands Ranch.

Summons were issued to Kee A. Hamlet, 36, of Highlands Ranch, Sabrina Hamlet, 34, of Denver for unlawful ownership of a dangerous dog. An arrest warrant was also issued for an unnamed juvenile on the same charge.

The three 11 year old boys who helped Simonds during the attack will receive an awards to honor their bravery in May.
