Overview

• Roam was discharged Saturday morning and escorted from Animal ER Care past his CSPD Specialized Enforcement Division station as supporters lined Fountain Boulevard.
• Surgeons treated extensive head, neck and abdominal wounds, performed a left hind-leg amputation and stabilized him after several hours of surgery and multiple transfusions.
• Multiple veterinary teams collaborated, with other law-enforcement K-9s donating blood products that clinicians credited with saving his life.
• Police identified the suspect as 37-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Anthony Bryant, who barricaded himself before being taken into custody about 15 minutes after the stabbing.
• Investigators say charging decisions remain pending under strengthened K-9 protection laws enacted after the killing of K-9 Graff, and police noted Roam was too young for a stab-proof vest.
