An attempted-murder charge after a barricade is still an accusation. Both adults lived. The love-triangle description is what sources told reporters, not a jury finding about why the shots were fired.
Police went to 3970 Third Avenue in Claremont in the Bronx at about 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2026, after reports of shots fired, amNewYork, News 12, and the New York Post reported. Officers from the 42nd Precinct found spent shell casings in the hallway. A 68-year-old man had barricaded himself inside an apartment. The Emergency Service Unit got in. A 70-year-old woman had been shot in the abdomen, and a 60-year-old man had been shot multiple times in the torso. Both were taken to Saint Barnabas Hospital, where they were stable and expected to survive.
Sources told reporters the shooter was believed to be the woman's boyfriend or ex-boyfriend, and that the other man may have been in a relationship with her. That is the account sources gave. It is how the dispute was described to newsrooms, including as an apparent love triangle. The New York Post also published video of a masked man in a Yankees cap asking for someone at the wrong door before the shooting. The victims are not named here.
Police identified the man taken into custody as Kenneth Morgan, 68. amNewYork reported he was charged with attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment. News 12 reported attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon. He was evaluated at a hospital after the arrest. Those counts are what the outlets say has been filed. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

KPTV, citing Warrenton police, called it an apparent self-inflicted gunshot. KGW reported Detective Matt Lysaght would not go past a gunshot deputies heard, a firearm in the room, and the fact that no officer fired. KPTV and OPB call the motel the South Jetty Inn.

An Oahu grand jury indicted Orion Satori on a second-degree murder charge in the Young Street stabbing of Kiril Stoimenov.
An indictment means a grand jury found enough to send the case forward. It is not a finding of guilt. Police have said Satori did the stabbing, according to Hawaii News Now. The next step is arraignment, where he will be asked to enter a plea. Second-degree murder in Hawaii carries a maximum of life with the possibility of parole, the station reported.
