K-9 officer Mike Gaard, Reserve officer Henry Gould, and Canine Zappa. Were in an injury roll-over traffic collision when they were cut off by a drunk driver while responding to a drive by shooting call.
Henry suffered a broken upper arm, broken leg, and several other injuries. He is an unpaid reserve officer with a wife and two teenage sons. It's unclear when he will be able to return to his paid job.
Mike was trapped in the car, which caught fire, and suffered a broken leg, crushed arm, severe head trauma and remains in a coma. He has not regained conciousness since the accident nearly a week ago. Mike has two young children and a wife.
Zappa was apparently uninjured and is resting at the home of another K-9 officer.
The drunk driver was still a .12BAC four hours after the "accident" and remains in the hospital from his injuries. He had apparently been at the beach all day drinking and smoking weed.
For the religious people on the board, please include Mike & Henry in your prayers.
