A 3-year-old boy was mauled to death by his family’s Rottweilers while in the backyard of his Kentucky house on Tuesday morning, a report said Tuesday.

The boy wandered out of his home in the Newburg section of Louisville at about 9 a.m. and was attacked by the two dogs, a local NBC affiliate reported.

Police and medics responded to the house and declared the boy dead at the scene, according to the report.

No charges were expected to be filed against his family members, who were home at the time of the incident, the Courier Journal reported.

The dogs were taken away by animal control authorities in the city, the newspaper reported.
