Bloomington - A female pit bull and a male beagle mix got loose.  The female pit bull attacked a newspaper carrier and then an hour later attacked a runner.  The intact male beagle mix accompanying the pit bull didn't bite anyone while it was running at large.

The owner has been previously cited for dogs at large.
