Woman Arrested After Pitbull Attack on Child, 1 Other in Fountain Valley 

On June 1st, a brutal Pitbull attack left two people injured, including a child, in Fountain Valley around 10:14pm. Responding officers found a man and an older child with severe dog bite injuries at the scene on Brookhurst Street and Talbert Avenue. The incident led to the arrest of a 32-year-old woman on suspicion of felony child abuse. The victims were immediately rushed to a local trauma center, but their condition remains unknown. Reports say that the Pitbull, police deemed as vicious, was later euthanized by Orange County Animal Control. 

 Jessica Gallegosparrilla, owner of the Pitbull was arrested on charges of felony child abuse and later assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm. This has left many people shocked as she pleaded not guilty according to court records. Although details about the circumstances of the attack and the relationship between Gallegosparrilla and the victims have not been released, it is clear that this is a very serious matter.
