A domestic dispute in Maine escalated into violence when Steven Righini shot at police during a standoff. After the authorities responded, Righini resisted arrest, firing at officers and wounding a sheriff's deputy. He also shot a police K9, named Preacher, who later died from injuries. Police ultimately shot Righini, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident highlights the dangers law enforcement faces during domestic disputes and the tragic loss of service animals in the line of duty.
"Mr. Righini refused to surrender and eventually tried to flee the residence in a vehicle. This escalated into bursts of gunfire exchanged between him and the police."
"K-9 Preacher was more than just a working dog - he was a dedicated member of the police force, honored by many throughout his service."
