CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — We have a follow up tonight on a story 3News first told you about last week, regarding a series of folks who were bitten by packs of stray dogs in different parts of town.
Three of those encounters reportedly happened at Del Mar College's Heritage campus. Charles Vela, a 17-year-old high school senior told 3News he was leaving his dual credit class when he was bitten on the thigh by a group of about six dogs.
The teen is now undergoing a series of rabies shots. Del Mar College students received a notice Tuesday that Animal Control would be placing food and water traps on campus.
Students are asked not to go near those traps.
The college's police chief told 3News she was told that one of the dogs had been picked up by Animal Control and they have not seen the pack of dogs this week.
A 63-year-old man was the victim of another dog bite attack last week when he was knocked down and bitten on the leg by a pack of aggressive dogs at Hibiscus and Highland Avenue -- he says he too is going through treatment and that Animal Control came out Monday and caught three of those dogs.
