Sultan

Closing out this current run of posts about cops and animals is a story I’m sad to report.

This is Sultan, a Belgian Malinois- German Shepherd mix who served with the San Jacinto, California, police department.

Sultan died in the line of duty Wednesday.  He had gone into a house where a suspect was barricaded and he was fatally injured.  He did make it back out of the house, but died at the scene.

The wanted felon who killed Sultan was shot dead at the scene when he came out of the house brandishing a pistol.
