Faithful police horse Royal Sun has died after suffering a painful and disabling injury during duty in the Entertainment District. Royal Sun was 16 when he tore a major ligament near his leg, causing a leg bone to twist and shatter. He was taken immediately to equine hospital but after analyzing X-rays and a discussion of all options, a decision was taken to put down the noble steed. Royal sun was by all accounts a fun-loving animal. Officers would hear rustling from the barn and know the horse was wandering the aisles, usually en route to the hay stack.
