Deputy Shot at Dog Park Survives

A Dodge County deputy survived multiple gunshot wounds after responding to a disturbance at River Run Dog Park — the first officer-involved shooting in decades for the department. The suspect, a 50-year-old man, opened fire as officers arrived, striking the deputy in the chest and leg. Thanks to his bulletproof vest, the deputy walked out of the hospital the same night. The suspect later died by self-inflicted gunshot wound. Authorities recovered a handgun at the scene. The sheriff praised the vest’s life-saving role, underscoring the daily risks faced by law enforcement — while urging respect for the bravery and sacrifice of officers on the front lines.
