A 14-year-old girl, who was reportedly trying to get away from an aggressive pit bull, was hit by a car and killed in McDonough Tuesday morning, Henry County Police said.
Henry County High School student Miracle Parham was struck by a Saturn on Jonesboro Road, just east of Rosewood Drive, at 7:20 a.m. She was in the middle of the road when she was hit by the eastbound vehicle, Maj. Jason Bolton said.
Miracle was walking to her school bus stop when she encountered the dog, which witnesses described as a pit bull, Bolton said. Witnesses told police the dog was approaching her aggressively, prompting Miracle to back up into the street, Bolton said.
Miracle was pronounced dead at the scene.

Will the dog’s owner be up on third degree murder charges?
Prayers for this little girl. What a horrible way to die... running for your life. Very, very sad.
Dreadful. RIP.
How awful. I hope they find the owner and hold them responsible.
