Missouri K-9 officer dies after being left inside hot car overnight: 'Tremendous loss'
Rescued German Shepherd mix becomes K9 officer
Fort Worth Police Department K9 handlers Officer Kris Thompson and Sgt. Chuck Hubbard join ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ to discuss the ‘high energy’ dog, Rock, who helps authorities fight the fentanyl crisis.
A beloved Missouri K-9 officer died after reportedly being left in a hot car overnight following the end of his shift in Savannah.
The Savannah Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that K-9 Horus died on Thursday after completing his overnight shift.
“On Thursday, June 20, the Savannah Police Department and the entire community suffered a tremendous loss,” Police Chief David Vincent said in a statement.
K-9 Horus had served as a member of the Savannah Police Department for over three years, according to FOX 4.

“Horus’s death is currently being investigated,” Savannah Chief of Police David Vincent said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “Due to this being an open investigation, there will be no further information released until the investigation is completed. The entire department would appreciate your thoughts and prayers, as we deal with the loss of our partner, Horus.”
Andrew County Prosecuting Attorney Monica J. Morrey told Fox News Digital that their office is currently investigating this case.
“The Andrew County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is deeply saddened to learn of K-9 Horus’ passing. We are grateful to him for his service to our community. I have requested a special investigation through the Missouri State Highway Patrol. I will await the results of this investigation prior to making any determination of necessary action,” Morrey said.
The name of the law enforcement officer responsible for K-9 Horus’ death has not been released as it is an ongoing investigation.

It is also not known what consequences the caretaker of K-9 Horus will face or if the death will be ruled intentional or an accident.
FOX 4 reported that the maximum temperature on Thursday was 90 degrees, with the low being 70 degrees outside.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, research indicates that the temperature inside a vehicle can go over 100 degrees in a half-hour, even if it’s only 70 degrees outside.
In May, Republican state Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer’s Bill 754, also referred to as “Max’s Law” passed the Missouri House of Representatives. The bill increases penalties for injuring and killing animals in law enforcement.

“I am happy to see this priority legislation make it across the finish line,” Luetkemeyer said when the bill passed. “This bill protects our diligent K-9 officers and the public they help protect.”
If signed by Governor Parson, Luetkemeyer said he hopes for Max’s Law to go into effect within the next few months.

“These heroic animals put their lives on the line every day to protect the public and their human partners,” Luetkemeyer said in a previous statement. “The law should protect them.”
It is unclear if this law would come into play in the case of K-9 Horus’ death.

Treatment will delay the Royal Oak-born actor’s plans to tour his new film ‘Ernie & Emma’ this summer.
Royal Oak-born movie star and cult hero Bruce Campbell announced on social media on Monday that he has been diagnosed cancer — a type that is “treatable” but not “curable,” he said.
“I apologize if that’s a shock — it was to me too,” the “Evil Dead” star, 67, wrote in a message posted to Instagram.
He went on to say “I’m not gonna go into any more detail,” and he didn’t. He said the public announcement had to do with scaling back appearances on his schedule, including tour dates behind his latest film, “Ernie & Emma.”
Campbell planned to show the movie June 5 at the Redford Theatre; as of Monday night, that date is still on the Redford schedule, but Campbell wrote in his note he plans to get “as well as I possibly can over the summer so that I can tour with my new movie ‘Ernie & Emma’ this fall.”
The movie is written, directed by and stars Campbell as a man who goes on a journey following the death of his wife. Campbell produced the movie alongside his wife, Ida Gearon, and filmed it in Oregon, where he now lives.
Campbell told The News in January he dedicated “Ernie & Emma” to his childhood moviemaking pals, including Scott Spiegel, who died of a heart attack in September 2025.
“It’s a callback to the carefree days of Super 8, where we could do whatever the f–k we wanted to do,” Campbell said of “Ernie & Emma.” “So I thought, ‘All the boys are responsible for this,’ so they’re all in there.”
Campbell got his start making movies around Metro Detroit with his childhood pal, Sam Raimi. Campbell starred in Raimi’s “Evil Dead” trilogy and has since appeared in most of Raimi’s films; Campbell makes a brief appearance in a photograph in the background of an early scene in Raimi’s latest, “Send Help.”
He’s also an author; Campbell’s autobiography “If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B Movie Actor” was published in 2001.
In his post on social media, Campbell thanked fans and said he was not out to elicit sympathy.
“Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-bitch and I have great support, so I expect to be around for a while,” he wrote.

For Pi Day, grocery shoppers get quizzed on what pi means
From the video archive, Columnist Jim Stingl quizzes Whole Foods Market customers on the mathematical pi. Video originally published March 14, 2010.
For math enthusiasts and foodies, Pi Day on March 14 is upon us once again.
We all know what pie is, but what the heck is pi? Pi ― 3.14 ― is the ratio of the circumference of a circle (the distance around the outside of it) to the diameter of that circle (the distance edge-to-edge). As we may have learned in math class, no matter the size of the circle, pi is always 3.14.
Hence on March 14, many bakeries and eateries in and around Milwaukee are offering pie sales and diverse pie selections. A selection of them are listed below.
Note that pie availability is typically while supplies last and preordering or calling beforehand is recommended. If there is a bakery or restaurant that is recognizing Pi Day and is not included in this list, let us know so we can add it.
