Laura,
I just called them to find out an address where I could send a
donation to help in the replacement of Ranger. The phone number is
562-570-5971. I only received an answering machine. I left a message and
hopefully they will call back. According to their website Ranger was a 4
year-old Malinois.

prayers

LONG BEACH - Long Beach police officers today shot and killed a paroled
gang
member who fired at them and fatally wounded a police dog, authorities
said.
A Long Beach Police Department gang enforcement unit attempted to
contact the
man for a routine search at his home about 11:15 p.m. yesterday but he
fled
on foot, said Long Beach police Sgt. David Cannan.
During the foot chase that ensued in an alley, the suspect turned and
fired
at officers, who fired back, Cannan said, adding that no one was hit in
that
exchange.
The man managed to elude the pursuing officers and hid under the front
porch
of a residence in the 1300 block of Cedar Avenue, Cannan said.
Once helicopter crews helped officers on the ground locate the suspect,
a
perimeter was established and a SWAT team was brought in, Cannan said.
The
suspect was ordered to come out but refused to comply, he said.
At around 2:50 a.m., a 4-year-old police dog named Ranger was sent to
flush
the man out of his hideout, and the suspect shot him, Cannan said. The
dog
later died.
After the man shot the dog, officers again opened fire, mortally
wounding
him. He died at the scene, Cannan said.
Police said the man, on parole following a robbery conviction, was in
his
20s. His name was not immediately released.
