13 February 2024 News
The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s K9 shot during a domestic incident in Fond du Lac last October continues his remarkable recovery. Sheriff Ryan Waldschmidt says this was a big week for Iro. His leg brace has been removed and he has been cleared to continue with physical therapy without any cast or brace on his right rear leg. His handler works with Iro seven days a week on specific rehabilitation exercises, and they travel to the UW Veterinary Hospital twice a week for additional rehab. Waldschmidt says he has a way to go yet, but all signs are continuing in the right direction with his recovery. The Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation continues its investigation of the October 14th incident during which Iro was wounded. His handler Deputy Blaine Evans was placed on administrative leave after having to exchange gunfire with 34-year-old Kyle Massie who was inside a vehicle. Massie was wounded and first aid was rendered, but Massie died at the scene. Iro was shot and seriously wounded. Sheriff’s deputies were assisting Fond du Lac Police during a domestic disturbance involving weapons. (Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s photos).
