(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man is facing potential time in prison for allegedly firing a gun multiple times inside his residence.

Kevin Klein, 28, has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 5 felony Criminal Recklessness when, according to court documents, at about 8 p.m. on May 8th police officers responded to multiple reports of shots being fired in the 100 block of A Street. At the scene, authorities discovered about a dozen bullet holes in the kitchen wall.

Klein reportedly told investigators that he and his girlfriend had been arguing and drinking alcohol during the day, before packing some things to leave for a few days and placing them inside his truck. When he went to go back inside the house to collect more items, Klein said the house was locked, so he became angry and kicked the door in. That resulted in more arguing inside the residence and his girlfriend walking outside with their two-year-old son, police said.

Police said Klein chose not to discuss the firing of the gun. He could face an up to six-year sentence on the felony charge.
