JACKSONVILLE (FOX 13) - Authorities in Florida say a police dog was shot and killed while chasing an armed carjacking suspect.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said in social media posts that the K-9 dog named Fang died early Sunday.
The sheriff's office said the suspect was apprehended by another K-9 dog at the scene and arrested. The suspect's name was not immediately released.
