An off-duty New York City police officer is accused of accidentally shooting his wife in the groin at their suburban home.

Police say the woman is recovering from her injuries at a hospital near their New Rochelle apartment, a town about 22 miles northeast of the city.

Police say her husband, Humberto Arboleda, is charged with misdemeanor third-degree assault in the Friday morning shooting.

They say he was "fooling around with his gun" when it accidentally went off.

The NYPD says it has suspended Arboleda without pay.
