COPS: 11-YEAR-OLD PA BOY KILLS DAD’S PREGNANT LOVER

An 11-year-old Pennsylvania boy killed his father’s pregnant girlfriend with a kiddie shotgun – and then hopped on the bus to school, authorities said today.

Jordan Brown allegedly shot Kenzie Houk, 26, at close range in the back of the head as she lay in her bed in the family home in Wampum, Pa. – a rural area about 45 miles from Pittsburgh – Friday at around 8 a.m.

The fifth-grader then took a school bus to Mohawk Elementary, leaving the victim, who was eight months pregnant, to die, according to New Castle State Police Lt. Steve Ignatz.

Houk’s 4-year-old daughter, who was eating breakfast and watching cartoons as the bloodshed unfolded, made the startling discovery about an hour later.

The terrified child ran outside in her pajamas and told tree-trimmers her mom was dead.

Houk’s unborn child – a 7-pound, 4-ounce boy – died minutes after his mom from lack of oxygen, said Lawrence County Coroner Russell Noga.

Brown was yanked out of school at 11 a.m. and questioned by Pennsylvania State Police, said Lawrence County District Attorney John Bongivengo.

Initially, the boy told police he’d seen a suspicious black truck on the property, sending investigators on a wild goose chase for several hours.

But the story fell apart when police re-interviewed Houk’s 7-year-old daughter, who was also at home at the time of the shooting.

The girl said she “heard a loud bang” and saw Brown with what she thought was a shotgun, according to Bongivengo.

A “youth”-sized 20-guage rifle, a model designed for children that does not need to be registered, was later found in the home, investigators said.

At about 3:30 a.m., Brown was arrested and charged as an adult with two counts of criminal homicide, officials said.

The horrific shooting baffled family members, who told The Post today that Houk lived happily with Jordan and his dad, Chris Brown.

“Kenzie loved [Jordan],” said Alaina Kraner, Kenzie’s sister-in-law. “She was a part of the family. We’ve all gone camping together and he wasn’t a bad kid or anything.

“Kenzie never had problems with Jordan. Everybody got along with Kenzie, especially kids.”

But another relative, Asia Kraner, said of Jordan, “Obviously he has some issues, some problems.”

The suspect’s attorney, Dennis Elisco, said there was no indication that Brown had prior problems with Houk.

“I believe Jordan did not do this and I’m looking forward to seeing the physical evidence to see if it matches with what I think happened,” Elisco said last night.

Brown’s father was mum today, but Elisco said the man was “a mess. He’s in a state of actual shock and disbelief. This is a tragic, extremely tragic situation.” With Post Wire Services
