A Portland police K-9 on his last shift and a suspect were killed as multiple law enforcement agencies tried to take a violent offender into custody Thursday afternoon in Southeast Portland, officials said.

Kylo was serving his last shift before retirement. Officials said the dog was taken to two separate animal hospitals in an effort to save his life.

“Kylo is a beloved member of the Portland police,” Benner said. “It’s not a stretch to say that our K-9s are like officers. It’s emotional over here. People lost a partner. We haven’t lost a K-9 since 2014.”
