At 1:30 am, on January 1st, Salem Police officers responded to the Salem Manor Apartments, regarding a report of a man that was trying to get his two pit bull dogs to attack residents.
Two residents from the apartment, fearing for their safety had to flee from the dogs prior to police arrival.
Upon police arrival, two officers approached Francisco Emiliano Martinez, 21, of Salem and his two pit bull dogs. Mr. Martinez immediately fled on foot. As he did, he began commanding the dogs to attack the officers.
The two dogs turned on one of the officers. The dogs lunged at the officer repeatedly. He fired once, killing one of the dogs. The second dog fled. The second dog was later located and impounded as a dangerous dog.
