However, when Funke was about 10 feet away from officers he suddenly ran back towards the handgun and officers sent in a police dog in an attempt to take him into custody, police said.
The dog turned toward an officer and bit him on the belt, Metro said.
That attempt failed and Metro Officer Hatten fired a round from his gun that struck Funke once on his shoulder, according to Metro.
Responding medical crews transported Funke to Sunrise Hospital's Trauma Unit where police said he was stable.

Terrible situation, but normal, understandable, safe police procedure.
