BOONE COUNTY (WTVO) — A local group is raising money after a local K9 officer was killed on-duty. The ‘Heart of a Hero’ fund is selling t-shirts, hoodies, and stickers as a memorial.
The Boone County Sheriff’s K9 officer was killed last month when the squad car he was in was hit by a drunk driver.
Loki’s handler, Deputy Robert Rosenkranz, was conducting a traffic stop on I-90 when his squad car was hit with Loki inside.
Rosenkranz, who sustained minor injuries during the incident, had been working with Loki since September 2019.
