Phoenix Police K-9 Bane was killed after it was deployed to locate a suspect who had hidden in an attic after leading police on a pursuit and bailing from the vehicle a few hours earlier, said Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams.

The incident reportedly began with a vehicle theft and pursuit Tuesday afternoon and ended with one woman arrested and a man in the hospital after what police called an officer-involved shooting.

Williams did not immediately confirm the man was shot by an officer but said he was injured and taken to a hospital. She said, however, the incident was the 17th police shooting involving Phoenix officers. Police did not specify how the dog was killed, reports the Arizona Republic .

The suspect was found on top of Bane before he was transported to a local hospital for treatment of his injuries, Williams said.

K-9 Bane was a three-year-old Belgian Malinois who had served the Phoenix Police Department for a little over one year, according to Sgt. Jonathan Howard, Phoenix PD public information officer.
