Police said Sgt. Randy Clinton was the first of four officers shot in January of last year when he and Gabby were helping search for Christian McCall, when McCall ambushed them.
Clinton and three others were shot, including Det. Mike Doty, who died, officials said.
Clinton just returned to work last month, nearly a year after the ambush.
