A Massachusetts State Police robot dog was shot during a standoff on Cape Cod this month, officials said, calling it an example of how the technology can make police work safer in dangerous situations.
It's both the first time a Massachusetts State Police robot dog was shot while working and the first time that one of Boston Dynamics' well-known Spot robots was shot while working, representatives told NBC10 Boston Wednesday.
Moreira was barricaded inside a home on St. Francis Circle after a 911 call about a person holding someone else at knifepoint, police said at the time. The person escaped, but when officers arrived at the home, Moreira allegedly opened fire on a SWAT vehicle and periodically shot near the officers who'd circled the home.
