Just after 7 a.m. Friday, Placer County Sheriff’s Office K9 Sonic was shot by an armed woman barricaded inside a home on Quarry Lane in Penryn. K9 Sonic was rushed to a veterinary hospital for treatment. During an exchange of gunfire, the woman, 30-year-old Linda Mullennix was struck.

Late Thursday evening detectives attempted to serve an arrest warrant for resisting/obstructing a peace officer (148 PC) and an eviction order signed by a judge on Mullennix. Mullennix also has a history of threatening neighbors, was known to be in possession of a gun, and has been the subject of multiple calls for service. She then pointed a gun at the detective from a window inside the home and threatened to shoot him.

We ask our community to join us in praying for our K9 officer and his handler. He is in excellent hands at Loomis Basin Veterinary. He was hit in the leg and is expected to recover.🙏🏻
