<div>On October 16, 2024 tragedy struck the Mount Airy NC Police Department. K-9 Draco was shot and killed in the Line of Duty while trying to apprehend a double murder suspect that was wanted out of the Fayetteville, NC area. The suspect was involved in a high-speed chase that ultimately ended in the vehicle crashing. The suspect fled the crash scene on foot. Multiple officers along with K-9 Draco began tracking the suspect. During the foot pursuit of the suspect, the suspect turned and began firing at the officers. K-9 Draco was released at that point and went after the suspect. During his attempted apprehension of the suspect, K-9 Draco was shot and succumbed to his injuries. His heroic actions and ultimate sacrifice saved the lives of the multiple other officers with him.
