K9 Max was shot and killed as he and his handler searched a 640-acre compound that had been sold at auction after the owner had failed to pay taxes.
The compound's owner was the leader of a religious separatist group that used the compound. As the deputies cleared the compound they were confronted by the man, who opened fire on them with a .223 caliber rifle. K9 Max was severely wounded while his handler was critically wounded.
The subject was eventually arrested and convicted of shooting Max's handler.
