GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP — Atlantic County authorities say a police officer who wounded two dogs after responding to a call at a local home this summer will not face charges.

Officials have said Galloway Township officer Ray Glick shot the dogs after their owner allowed them to leave his home and charge at Glick. The officer then shot one dog as it lunged toward him, then the other as it circled around and tried to bite him.

The dog's owner disputed those claims, saying Glick shot the first dog almost as soon as he opened his front door. But Jim McClain, an assistant county prosecutor, said Friday that a review by that office had cleared Glick.

Glick had gone to the South Fir Avenue home on June 30 after a pizza delivery driver reported that one of the dogs had bitten him.
