K-9 that located the suspect who killed a BCSO deputy was shot and wounded after alerting officers

HOUSTON — Before Sean Christopher Davis was killed in a shootout with law enforcement Wednesday evening, he shot and wounded a heroic K-9, according to the US Marshals Service.

K-9 Rocky alerted officers after finding Davis hiding in a trash bin in the same southwest Houston strip center where Davis gunned down Brazoria County Sheriff's Office Deputy Jesus Vargas hours earlier. Davis shot the K-9 twice before he was shot and killed while still in the dumpster. More...

This is the moment when Rocky was being loaded onto the DPS chopper. Rocky is a U.S. Marshall K9 who was shot after he sniffed a suspect in dumpster. He was expected to survive. And is being called a hero. Story tonight on @KHOU at 10.
