A Lorton, Va., man was charged with second-degree murder Thursday after he took his girlfriend to a hospital with what turned out to be a fatal gunshot wound, police said.
Fairfax County police said they arrested Huy Tien Nguyen, 47, hours after he shot and killed Alison “Kate” LaPorta, 38. Authorities said they also charged Nguyen with felony firearm use. Court records did not list an attorney for Nguyen on Thursday.
