Killer bee attacks: 'It could happen to anybody'
TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now) -

Two bee attacks in the same week have some Southern Arizona neighborhoods on edge.

The Africanized bees killed four dogs and hospitalized two more. They've also attacked humans.

Both incidents happened Thursday afternoon. The first one took place in Rancho Sahuarita and the second one near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

"You really can't tell until they're aggressive and attacking you," said Joe Jackson, owner of Barrier Pest Management . . . .
