The mother of a 10-year-old boy who was killed in a dog attack near Caerphilly in South Wales has described her son as "beautiful" and "sweet".
Jack Lis is believed to have been attacked at a friend's house in a street near to his home in Pentwyn, Penyrheol, after school.
Armed police were sent to the address at 3.55pm on Monday, accompanied by paramedics from the Welsh Ambulance Service.
They confirmed a child had died at the scene.
The dog was destroyed by firearms officers and no other animals were involved.
In a Facebook post, Jack's mum Emma Whitfield wrote: "With so much heartbreak and before close friends and family see his name in the news, I have to announce our beautiful boy Jack was taken so tragically yesterday.
"It was not our dog nor did it happen at our family home. He was out to play.
"We love you so much our sweet sweet boy."
Chief Superintendent Mark Hobrough said: "My condolences and thoughts are with Jack's family, friends, school friends and everyone affected by this within the community.
"We can confirm that the attack did not happen in the house owned by Jack's family, but inside another property on a nearby street.
"Officers are continuing to make further enquiries at this time and will remain at the scene as the investigation progresses.
"There will be a significant presence of officers in this area of Caerphilly as our enquiries continue. Please do not be alarmed.
"If you have concerns or information then please do stop and talk with us."
