A man shot a Fort Lauderdale Police K-9 on Saturday while officers tried to arrest him during a burglary investigation, police said.<\/p>\n

Christian Q. Bouie, 30, of Fort Lauderdale, is facing charges of use of a deadly weapon on a police animal, interfering with law enforcement officers with violence, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and resisting officers without violence.<\/p>\n

Shortly before 7:30 p.m. Saturday, officers were called to the 1600 block of Northwest 16th Court about a \u201cpossible\u201d burglary at a home, the police department said in a news release Monday.<\/p>\n

A suspect, later identified as Bouie, tried to flee the perimeter officers set up during the investigation, the department said. As an officer released K-9 Appie, a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, to apprehend him, Bouie shot the dog in its shoulder.<\/p>\n

Bouie was arrested after officers released another K-9, the news release said. Officers found a gun at the scene.<\/p>\n
