Sheriff: Police shoot, wound man who allegedly shot K-9
McFARLAND, Calif. (AP) — A 38-year-old man was shot and wounded by police in California’s San Joaquin Valley on New Year’s Day after he allegedly shot a law enforcement dog, authorities said.
Eduardo Figueroa is expected to survive his injuries, according to the Kern County Sheriff’s Office. He is being held on $620,000 bail. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Figueroa was booked on suspicion of multiple felony offenses, including assault with a firearm on a person, willful harm to a peace officer’s dog with serious injury and participation in a criminal street gang.
The dog, part of a K-9 unit with the Delano Police Department, was in stable condition Monday at a veterinary hospital.
The incident began Saturday shortly after 8 p.m. when McFarland Police Department officers tried to stop Figueroa’s car. Figueroa drove away and police pursued.

Thin on details, but there’s only one story to tell.
Who can protest and does not, is an accomplice in the act. — THE TALMUD

I’m hearing two songs playing as I’m reading the top story:
“Welcome to the Hotel California”
“I Fought the Law and the Law Won”
And for Officer K9, belly rubs (gently) and T-bones (later, after full recovery)
“Who can protest and does not, is an accomplice in the act. — THE TALMUD”
Bullshit.
Why protest when you can load magazines instead? Or work on knot tying skills?
🙂 Well, yeah, there is that.
Been my K-9 Officer that the POS shot, the POS would NOT be “…expected to survive his injuries.” He’d be dead, Jim.
Surprised that the dead dirtbag in Portland was not referred to as “the victim”.
I could wrap my hands around that thar Colt and make it my main squeeze. Cannon, Hand, epitome of, one (1) each.
“A suspected home intruder…”, what, not a ‘victim’ today there, KOIN?
You stay classy, jurnine-oh-last scum.
Children and dogs, man.
I can’t stand it when either of those get hurt.
A Gene Hunt special hand cannon there.
