Police chased the vehicle from South Elgin to a busy intersection at Randall Road and Fabyan Parkway at the border of Batavia and Geneva. There the man exited his vehicle with a handgun and Hudson was deployed, Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain said.Hudson gripped onto the man’s arm and bit him and was in an active struggle with the man, officials said. An exchange of gunfire then occurred, Hain said, during which the man and Hudson were shot and killed.
At the service, the Rev. Steve Gallaher of Christ Community Church in St. Charles said Hudson’s dedication and loyalty were on display the day of the shootout, as he was “designed and eventually trained to protect and serve.” “After Hudson was shot, he was crawling toward his partner and handler,” Gallaher said. “He was a loyal warrior all the way until the end, serving and protecting.”
