This is a very dangerous situation - be sure to keep her separated from other dogs and children until you can have her fully assessed by a behaviorist. Do not put yourself, family or other dogs at risk until a program can be pt in place to deal with her aggression - you may need to consider surrendering her if she is not able to cope with a busy environment around other dogs and children
