A family dog that killed a 3-month-old baby and injured the parents has been put down, according to Middlesex County prosecutors.

Officials confirmed with News 12 New Jersey that the animal was a pit bull. The attack happened around 6 a.m. Saturday on Mereline Avenue in the Avenel Township section of Woodbridge.
