Frankie, a nearly 11-year-old Belgian malinois, was shot Tuesday afternoon by a 38-year-old suspect, according to a statement from State Police Col. Christopher Mason.
Frankie's handler, Sgt. David Stucenski, was not injured.
Police went to the multifamily Fitchburg home at about 9 a.m. Tuesday after developing information that the suspect, wanted on warrants charging him with firearms offenses, was there. Stucenski and Frankie approached, but the suspect fired multiple shots before retreating back inside. He later apparently took his own life.
