(November 6, 2007)--A Central Texas boy who was seriously hurt in a pit bull attack Tuesday evening at his grandmother's house later died, authorities said.

Killeen police say it happened at 2907 Fairlane where the injured boy and his 9-year-old brother were running through the house and yelling when the family's pit bull jumped from the couch and knocked the boy to the ground, biting him in the neck.

The grandmother was able to pull the dog off the boy, police said.

The youngster was taken to Carl Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood, where he died about two hours after the attack.

Scanner traffic indicated paramedics were performing CPR on the boy en route to the hospital.

The dog has been quarantined
