    News reports this morning are now saying that the K-9 survived and should make a full recovery.

    Prayers going out for the family of a fallen civil servant. May God fill in the gap left behind in the hearts of his family and friends.

    Report on TV this morning was that he's dead. They aren't giving out his name for some reason.

    Such a tragedy. Thoughts and prayers go out to the officer and his family.

    I have it on good authority that Shadow, Officer Long's K-9, will be fine.

    He was shot in the jaw, which shattered his lower jaw bone. He was stabilized locally and sent to a specialist.

    I'm happy to hear that Shadow will recover. I'm sure that he will mourn his partner also.

    Update on the individual involved. Looks like officer Long's death could have been prevented. Guy had a history and had served time before. Was sentenced to 12 years in 2005, but was released in 2010 according to the link below.

    Shooter had long criminal history
