Volusia Sheriff's K-9s Ax and Endo were honored Wednesday with Purple Hearts after each suffering gunshot wounds while subduing an armed carjacking suspect in September.
Ax was shot in the face while tracking the armed man into a wooded area in Deltona on Sept. 11. Endo was shot in the paw and chin almost two hours later when the suspect ran out from a wood line.
Sheriff Mike Chitwood praised both Ax and Endo following the shootings, saying there was "no doubt that K-9 Ax and K-9 Endo took bullets that were meant for my deputies."
