LAWRENCE, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) – A specially trained police dog accidentally fired a gun into a Crescent Street home while searching for the stolen firearm in a nearby snowbank.
The stolen firearm was reportedly buried in a snowbank by one of three suspects who were being sought by police. K-9 Ivan was called to the scene shortly after the incident occurred early Saturday morning.
An officer was reportedly parked on Reservoir Street around 2 a.m. when he heard three gunshots. He pulled around to the front of the building and saw three males driving away towards Haverhill Street, reports The Eagle-Tribune.
The suspects noticed they were being followed and attempted to flee at a high rate of speed. At the intersection of Crescent and May, the driver pulled over and 28-year-old Jose Calderon jumped out of the backseat, ran to the opposite side of the road, and began to bury something in the snow. Calderon then went back to car.
Police ordered Calderon and 21-year-old Alexander Gonzalez and 26-year-old Jorge Henriquez out of the vehicle. In the backseat of the car, police found a bullet casing.
According to the newspaper, Ivan then went over to the snowbank and began to paw at the snow. It is believed the dog hit the trigger with his paw discharging a bullet into 82 Crescent St. Officers woke up the residents of the home to make sure no one had been hurt.
Calderon, Gonzalez, and Henriquez were arrested and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, receiving a firearm with a defaced serial number, and receiving stolen property.
Henriquez was additionally charged with speeding, and Calderon was also charged with discharging a firearm within 150 feet of a highway and carrying a firearm without a license.
All three suspects are scheduled for arraignment Monday in Lawrence District Court.
What did the K9 officer think after he fired the shot into the house?
Hint: he was fearful he would lose his job.
True story. My husband who had a serious personal gas problem and I were visiting a friend in Vermont. Usually my husband tried to release his gas away from me which I much appreciated. However, one night after we were in bed I/we were struck with an overpowering aroma. I looked at him and said, “For gosh sakes, you were just in the bathroom!” He looked at me and said, “I’m innocent, I didn’t do it.” Then we heard a slight noise and upon looking under the bed found our host’s old dog hiding there. “See,” my husband said, “I told you I was innocent.” Incidentally, my husband’s personal problem was later cured after a week of eating yogurt every day.
Ans: doggone.
>> K-9 Ivan
Maybe we should stick with the German dogs.
Jumpin’ jack flash!

Of all the dogs cops have shot, not one has discharged a firearm. The first one to do so and it is a cop dog.
Believe it or not they’re probably NOT illegal aliens but rather Puerto Ricans.
And most of the illegal aliens you’ll find in Massachusetts are Brazilians, and work at Dunkin Donuts....
Lawrence isn’t part of Boston.
comment to a story on this in local paper the Eagle Tribune:
>>do we now call that gun a pawed-off shotgun..just saying
Would think most illegal aliens don’t work...and collect EBT cards/welfare, but who knows
Not a true story: When I met my first girlfriend, she invited me over for Sunday dinner. We were all sitting at the table and I had been out fishing the night before and drank a LOT of beer. I had gas real bad and raised up on one cheek and let one slide, to be accompanied by a little noise and a lot of aroma. Buster, the dog was sitting at my feet and the mother said “Buster. Here.” I figured they thought the dog did it and I let another on rip. Ma said “Buster! HERE.” I figured I had it made and five minutes later another snuck out. She finally yelled “ Buster! Get over here before he shiites on you!”
A dog firing a weapon? That’s pretty good. I can’t even get mine to fetch a beer from the fridge.
“Dufarge is from Lawrence..”
Oops !
(Lawrence isn’t the Lawrence she grew up in anyway)
.
Don't we know it! You were right the first time, but you were too kind to Lawrence.
