Jilted geriatric’s love-triangle victims uttered three words to NYPD cops

The jilted geriatric accused of blasting his 70-year-old gal pal and her younger flame in a Bronx love triangle gone awry was charged with attempted murder Monday — after the victims told cops, “Kenny shot me.’’

Kenneth Morgan — who authorities also revealed has a disturbing decades’ long rap sheet — faces the stiff rap along with charges of assault, gun and ammunition possession and harassment over Saturday’s burst of violence inside a Claremont apartment, according to cops and prosecutors. 

Kenneth Morgan, 68, of the Bronx, also faces raps for assault, gun and ammunition possession and harassment in connection to the burst of violence inside a Claremont apartment, according to cops and prosecutors.

Morgan stormed into the East 173rd Street and Third Avenue building around 9:30 p.m., with video obtained by The Post showing him frantically calling his beau’s name and fiddling with his waistband. 

Once inside the ninth-floor unit, Morgan flew into a rage when he found the woman with a 60-year-old man, law-enforcement sources said. 

The furious senior then pulled out a gun and opened fire, hitting the woman in the stomach and the younger man multiple times in the chest, cops said. 

Both victims pointed the finger at Morgan when questioned by cops, plainly telling them, “Kenny shot me,” according to a complaint filed in Bronx Criminal Court.

When police descended on the home, the enraged beau barricaded himself and the victims inside, leading to a tense standoff with cops.

Morgan even waved the gun – which he is not licensed to own – in the faces of two uniformed NYPD cops who responded to the volatile scene, police said. 

He was eventually taken into custody by the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit.

Morgan has 25 previous arrests – with his most recent from September of 2019 for gun possesion in the Charlotte Gardens section of The Bronx.

His record also includes arrests for burglary, robbery and theft of service, cops said.

Both of his weekend victims were taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where police said they were listed in stable condition, although a criminal complaint described both as “intubated and unconscious.”

Three days before the alleged jealous outburst, Morgan is accused of śh́óóting and wounding another man in a different section of The Bronx, according to that complaint.

Morgan was embroiled in a feud with a separate woman inside an apartment building on Hughes Avenue near East 180th Street in Belmont around 10 p.m. Oct. 14 when her son stepped in, the court document said.

He then flashed a gun and opened fire, striking the son in the right arm, authorities said. 

The top charge in that case was also attempted murder, according to prosecutors. 

He was ordered held without bail in connection with both cases Monday morning, with his next appearance scheduled Friday.
