K9 Ando was shot and killed while protecting his handler during a barricade situation.
Deputies had responded to a home after its owner was involved in an accident and threatened neighbors with a shotgun. Arriving deputies had setup a perimeter around the home but were unable to make contact with the subject.
Unbeknownst to the deputies, the man had remained outside of the home. As he approached Ando and his handler from behind, Ando suddenly took action and attacked the man as he opened fire. One blast struck the handler in the foot before Ando was shot in the face and chest.
The subject fled the scene but turned himself in the following day. He was convicted of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and battery of a police service animal and subsequently sentenced to 30 years in prison.
