Colorado Springs Police K9 Recovering After Stabbing
A Colorado Springs Police K9 officer named Roam is recovering after being stabbed multiple times in an altercation on Wednesday.
Roam was part of a tactical team responding to a report of a domestic violence protection order violation in northeast Colorado Springs. The suspect, 37-year-old Anthony Bryant, had barricaded himself inside the home.
When officers, including Roam, confronted him, Roam was stabbed.
Roam came to us … with some pretty extensive lacerations, said Dr. Abby Sticker with Animal ER Care. Roam had cuts on his neck, head, and abdomen, which extended into his rear left leg.
After stabilization efforts, Roam underwent surgery, which required the amputation of his left rear leg, according to Dr. Sticker.
