~~the breeds of the two dogs who killed the man in Stonnall is currently not known~~
Staffordshire Police said it was understood the dogs were XL bullys, but further tests were being carried out to determine their breed.
Article has been updated. Not a surprising update.
It's known now. Sunak has just confirmed it, and announced Bully XLs with be banned within the next few months.
Many thanks. I wish I was surprised. The XL ban was announced before the breed involved in this incident was announced.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The attack happened outside Main Street, Stonnall, near Walsall, on Thursday afternoon, police said.
The victim was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and was confirmed dead, emergency services said.
A West Midlands ambulance service (WMAS) spokesman said: "Upon arrival we found a man who had sustained multiple life-threatening injuries and was in a critical condition.
Meanwhile, children at nearby St Peter's Primary Academy were stopped from leaving for "safety reasons".
The girl and two men were set upon by an American bully XL outside shops in Bordesley Green on 9 September.
While the breeds of the two dogs who killed the man in Stonnall is currently not known, Home Secretary Suella Braverman has called for the American bully XL to be outlawed.
