Waco Teen Indicted for Police K9 Shooting

Darrin King, 18, of Waco, has been federally indicted for possession of an unregistered firearm after allegedly shooting police K9 Andor three times during a police pursuit on May 28. The weapon reportedly had a 'Glock switch,' making it a fully automatic machine gun under federal law. Andor survived with life-threatening injuries but was medically retired following emergency treatment. In addition to the federal charge, King faces state charges including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, interference with a police service animal, and possession of a prohibited weapon, with bail set at over $2.5 million. If convicted federally, King could face up to 10 years in prison, with state charges potentially resulting in longer sentences. The investigation is being handled by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Waco Police Department.
