Quantico, Va. -- A memorial service was held Monday for Ape, the FBI police dog killed by the man sought in four fatal Herkimer County shootings last week.

The Czech German Shepherd had been on duty for less than a month when he was shot dead by Kurt Myers, the suspect holed up in an abandoned building in the village of Herkimer, state police said.

After a police robot failed to get Myers out of the former Glory Days bar on North Main Street, law enforcement entered the building with Ape Thursday morning.

Myers was waiting for them and opened fire, hitting and killing Ape, troopers said Authorities returned fire and killed Myers.

Aple was on November 17, 2010 and began duty on Feb. 25, 2013 after completing training last October.

He will be buried near the FBI training facility in Quantico, Va.

The FBI said Ape will be greatly missed.
