A man shot his pregnant girlfriend seven
times before turning the gun on himself in a
bloody hotel room confrontation.
The incident happened at a Times Square
hotel for the homeless in New York city late
last night.
Police believe 29-year-old Herbert Gaines
shot his partner six or seven times.
The victim, Brandi Quijano, 27, lived at the
hotel which is run by charity Common
Ground, who provide housing for the
homeless and people with HIV.
The tragic couple were rushed to a hospital,
but doctors were unable to treat their
wounds and they both died.
Anthony Mack, who has lived at the hotel
for 15 years, said: “There was a whole lot of
gun shots […] in rapid succession.
“She was laying on her back bleeding.
“He shot himself in the head, blood was
everywhere.
“I’ve seen so much here, it’s just another
horror.”
