A terrified 2-year-old girl was grazed on the back by a bullet after her mom’s jealous boyfriend started firing a gun wildly outside their home in Brooklyn, police and the child’s mother said yesterday.
“He walked just like normal, didn’t say nothing, and started shooting,” said a stunned Hillary Charles, 25, whose daughter, Jeniah, was burned by a fragment from the bullet.
Charles said the ordeal began after she and her 21-year-old boyfriend, Charles Morgan, started arguing at her mother’s home in Brownsville at 11:20 p.m. Sunday. The mom said her boyfriend began screaming and throwing bottles, then stalked out of the house and walked to the corner.
She, her young daughter, her 16-year-old brother and other relatives went out to the front porch to see where he was going when he suddenly turned around and began firing randomly in their direction, she said.
Cops contacted Morgan on his cellphone, and he turned himself in. He faces a slew of charges, including attempted murder and endangering the welfare of a child.
