Incident
K9 Sabre was shot and killed while attempting to take down an armed subject following a foot pursuit.
The subject had broken into the basement of an occupied home while attempting to flee officers. Officers attempted to talk the man into exiting the home but he refused to do so. As entry was made into the home the subject opened fire. Sabre immediately attacked the subject as officers returned fire. Both Sabre and the subject were fatally wounding during the exchange.
