The recent quadruple homicide in Herkimer, New York ended with the 64-year-old shooter, Kurt Meyers, dead at the hands of what media outlets are referring to a “SWAT” or “police tactical team”. It turns out the raid against Meyers in an abandoned bar was conducted by the assaulters from the FBIs Hostage Rescue Team, or simply HRT.


On Wednesday March 13th, Kurt Meyers set fire to his home and went on a random shooting spree that left four people dead, and two wounded who are in critical condition. In the aftermath of the shooting, armed with the same shotgun he used to kill four people, Meyers barricaded himself in an abandoned bar in Herkimer called Glory Days. It was that same evening that a team from HRT was stood up to deploy on-site and assist in the developing situation. Seven men and one dog, who were all present in Alabama last month during the hostage rescue of a five-year-old kindergartner, loaded onto three helicopters in Quantico, Virginia and flew North to Herkimer.


It was decided Thursday morning that the team from HRT would assault the building. Around 8:00 am, the breach was initiated and the team’s dog was the first through the door. Ape, a two year old Czech German Shepherd, had a camera attached to his body that was being monitored by the agents outside. The first shotgun blast from Meyers missed Ape and destroyed the camera, the second shot hit Ape in the chest, killing him instantly. Not seconds behind, the HRT assaulters stormed through the breach-point and immediately engaged and killed Kurt Meyers. Inside sources within the unit say that Ape saved the lives of the first men through the door as Meyers was hiding in wait with his shotgun trained on the entrance. The two shots he used to engage Ape would have certainly been used to engage the first man in the building.

Feel bad for the dog, and the handler. One of those, "it's the job" scenarios, but sucks all the way around.

Score one for the good guys. Unfortunately it came at the cost of a dog.

Poor dog that really sucks. I'm sure the trainer spent a few minutes kicking the shit out of the shooter's corpse.

It's the bad guy's fault the dog died? He isn't the one who sent the dog in first, like a canary into a mine shaft. I'd say the handler shares at least equal blame. What the hell did they think was going to happen? That the guy would just give him a biscuit and scratch his ears?

He shot the dog did he not? Definitely his fault.
