The Boston Dynamics dog, known as Roscoe, found an armed man hiding in a Barnstable basement before being shot, the first time one of the Spot dogs was shot
on Cape Cod this month, officials said, calling it an example of how the technology can make police work safer in dangerous situations.
State police eventually decided to send in three robots, including Roscoe, to find where in the building Moreira was holed up. Roscoe cleared the top two floors of the building, then discovered him, holding a rifle, in the basement, police said. Justin Moreira, 30, is facing two dozen charges including nine counts of attempted murder. Follow NBC10 Boston on...
