A Jefferson County police dog is being called a hero. Deputies say K-9 Graffit was shot and killed by a suspect at the Colorado School of Mines Monday morning
Deputies say K-9 Graffit was shot and killed by a suspect at the Colorado School of Mines.Officials say they saw an unconscious man inside a vehicle. He woke up and started driving away. Officers saw him slump over again and when they tried to wake him up, they say he started to drive into patrol cars.
A deputy then returned fire but did not hit the suspect. The suspect surrendered just before 5 a.m. Monday and was taken into custody. "He was always just a great dog to be around. He always was a hard worker and he knew when it was time to do his job, but also knew when it was time that he could hang out and just kind of chill out," McKenna said."Most of us in the metro area, we all know each other," he said.
"He does patrol functions and also odor searches for guns and shell cases," McKenna said."It's almost like having an extension of a family that you get to bring to work with you every day. For me, I probably spend more time with him than I do with my other dog at home or sometimes my family at home."
