A father was killed after being shot in the neck in front of his wife and plummeting from his bedroom window in a home invasion in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania Sunday night, authorities and sources tell NBC10.
Lower Moreland Police responded to the home along the 2300 block of Philmont Avenue in Huntington Valley around 11 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found the 53-year-old Kevin Brown on the front lawn, with a bullet wound to the neck, sources said. Police dragged the man to their cruiser and brought him to a nearby ambulance. He died at Abington Memorial Hospital, police said.
Sources said four men forced their way through the back door of the home with the apparent gunman wearing a mask. The men made their way to a second-floor bedroom where the shooting happened.
The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said the Brown jumped from his bedroom window trying to escape the shooters. His wife was in the room when he was shot and two children were in the home, prosecutors said.
Authorities said the home and family were targeted, but would not say why.
This is the second murder this year in Lower Moreland Township.
