Brooklyn man already facing gun charges busted for shooting girlfriend
A Brooklyn man arrested nine months ago on gun charges was back in handcuffs Saturday for shooting and critically wounding his girlfriend, police sources said.
Kevin Hor, 23, was charged with attempted murder and assault for the 2 a.m. gunfire at the 24-year-old girlfriend’s East New York apartment.
The couple had just come back from a family party to the Jerome St. apartment when the woman’s roommate heard a single gunshot go off in the bedroom, cops said.
The two were “playing” with the .22 caliber pistol when the weapon accidentally fired, Hor told police. The bullet went through the young woman’s chest and out her back, sources said.
The girlfriend was taken to Brookdale University Hospital, where she had to undergo surgery and remained in critical condition Saturday.
Hor’s arraignment was pending in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
The gun recovered from the girlfriend’s apartment was the same caliber as the one cops found in Hor’s car in September following a Brooklyn traffic stop, but it wasn’t the same pistol, a police source said.
On Sept. 7, cops charged Hor with gun and marijuana possession after he was pulled over for blowing through a red light on Brooklyn Ave. The man also had two active warrants for his arrest for unrelated misdemeanor offenses.
Hor, a small business owner who sells beauty supplies, paid $15,000 bail and was working on a plea deal to put the charges behind him, a second source said.
Robert Rambadadt, the attorney who represented Hor in September, said he couldn’t comment on Hor’s most recent arrest because he hadn’t been presented with all the facts.
