Darla Napora,  32,  was fatally mauled in her home in Pacifica,  California on August 11,  2011 by her two-year-old non-neutered pit bull terrier Gunner.  Police shot Gunner at the scene.  Autopsy and necropsy results showed that a spayed six-year-old female pit bull named Tazi,  also present,  was not involved.  Napora’s husband, Greg Napora,  30,  buried Gunner’s remains with her.  Napora,  who was pregnant,  was reportedly an active member of Bay Area Dog Lovers Responsible About Pit Bulls . The BADRAP web site lists neutering pit bulls second on a list of rules for keeping them safely.
