On May 6th, 2026, a Skamania County Sheriff’s Office deputy was involved in an incident with an aggressive dog at his residence in Clark County, Washington, following the completion of his assigned shift.
Upon arriving home, Deputy Kioroglo observed an aggressive dog circling his marked patrol vehicle. As Deputy Kioroglo exited the vehicle, the dog aggressively charged toward him. Deputy Kioroglo initially attempted to stop the attack by deploying his department-issued Taser; however, the Taser deployment was ineffective and failed to stop the animal.
As the dog continued to present an imminent threat of serious injury, Deputy Kioroglo discharged his duty firearm, striking the dog.
The Clark County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and is conducting the investigation into the incident, as the event occurred within their jurisdiction.
Investigators are aware of multiple prior complaints involving this particular dog, including a previous dog bite incident that had been investigated by the Clark County Animal Control.
No persons were injured during the incident.
Additional information will be released by the investigating agency as it becomes available.
