Prayers for K9 Officer Nikos - Greenville County, NC

Please keep K9 Nikos of the Greenville County Sheriff's Office in your thoughts and prayers. Nikos is being treated for gun shot wounds to his head and femur.

Nikos was shot when he was sent into the residence of a barricaded suspect with an entry team last night. Upon entry Nikos located the suspect and proceeded to apprehend him. While apprehending him the suspect shot Nikos in his head around the eye area, as well as sustaining an injury that shattered his femur. Four year old K9 Nikos was quickly put into a patrol vehicle and rushed to the emergency vet.

Nikos actions undoubtedly saved multiple lives. He is truly a K9 hero.

Nikos is receiving amazing care and the Sheriff reports that while his injuries are significant, he is expected to pull through. Please keep Nikos, his handler and the department in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.
