COLUMBIA, SC — More than a police dog died Dec. 16, 2011, as an armed robber fired seven shots during a police manhunt through a North Columbia neighborhood.
While no Richland County Sheriff’s deputies or Columbia Police Department officers were hit by bullets, scars remain.
Sheriff’s deputies still cry as they remember Fargo, the K9 who was killed. The trauma of gunfire causes hesitation when they are called to track criminals.
