Off-duty N.Y. officer recovering after killing his pit bulls

NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. — The off-duty New York City police officer who shot two of his pit bulls after the animals attacked him in his Medford home is on sick leave while recovering from his wounds, city police said yesterday.

When Efrain Flores, 27, found his three pets entangled in a fight inside his house around 1 p.m. Sunday, he managed to pull the one female out of the fracas and confine her safely, police said. But the two males attacked, police said, leaving him with "numerous lacerations" on his arms.

That's when Flores - who police said is a four-year department veteran serving as a patrol officer in Brooklyn's 73rd Precinct - somehow managed to fend off the animals. He fired seven rounds from his 9mm service pistol, police said, killing the two.

Flores was taken to Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center, treated for his injuries and released the same day, police said.

New York City police said a firearms discharge review board will conduct a routine review. Both city and Suffolk County Police said Flores is not suspected of criminal activity and is not likely to face discipline.
