Around 3:30 p.m. on July 4, officers responded to a report of a dog attack at a bus stop near 111 Avenue and 109 Street. The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) said a 63-year-old woman was reported to be standing at the bus stop on the west side of 109th Street south of 111th Avenue when she was bitten by a « large breed gray dog ».
