A police dog is able to detect the smell of many things. A recently fired gun is one of them. The dog may have given the handler an alert, which is probable cause in all 50 states.

(OW! My head just exploded!)
There was apparantly a crowd/gathering, and in that neighborhood guns are quite likely common. You wouldn't want to start firing on the first guy the dog allerted on because, alas, he might well be a cop too.
Someone rushed in and made a mess here ~ you know that, right?
