A police K-9 officer named Murph was shot by a suspect while attempting to detain him in Vacaville, California.

The suspect, identified as 52-year-old Darren Crail, refused assistance and allegedly threatened the surrounding community. During the attempt to apprehend Crail, he shot Murph, resulting in the amputation of the dog's front left leg. Crail suffered minor injuries and was subsequently arrested and charged.
VACAVILLE â A police K-9 officer was shot with a rifle while attempting to detain a suspect in Vacaville, authorities said Wednesday.

After several calls for Crail to exit the home, police said he exited the front door armed with a rifle. Police K-9 Murph then moved in to try and take Crail into custody. Vacaville police said Crail then shot Murph at least once.
