COURIER LIFE, JANUARY 17-23, 2020 3
BY ROSE ADAMS
A soldier with the US Army
fi red off 29 rounds out of his
Dyker Heights home on Jan.
7, striking his own car and
shooting into the window of a
neighboring home after claiming
that his wife cheated on
him, according to the Brooklyn
District Attorney’s offi ce.
Sgt. Harold Beard, 28, allegedly
fi red his assault rifl e
29 times out the window of
his 82nd Street house between
13th and 14th avenues at 12:28
am, and told a police offi cer he
did it because his wife cheated
on him, the criminal complaint
claims.
“My wife is cheating on
me. I have an AR-15. I shot my
car, and I shot it out of the window,”
Beard reportedly said.
Two bullets struck Beard’s
car and several struck a neighboring
home, where they damaged
a window and the steps
leading up to the door, according
to his shocked neighbor.
“I went to the front window
to see what was going
on… Minutes later, walked
out the side and police asked
if I’m ok because shots were
fi red through my window,”
he said, saying he was watching
TV in the backroom when
Beard fi red through the glass.
“Thank God the bullets didn’t
go to my baby’s room.”
No injuries were caused in
the shooting, authorities say.
Police found 29 shell casings
in the second fl oor of
Beard’s house, where gunshots
had shattered all the
windows, the report claims.
Beard is not authorized to own
an assault rifl e in New York.
Beard, who’s served in the
military for seven years, reportedly
took the gun apart
and called the police on himself
after fi ring the rounds, a
neighbor told the New York
Post.
Beard was charged with
reckless endangerment, criminal
possession of a weapon,
and possession of pistol ammunition,
among other charges.
The district attorney requested
Beard be held on $100,000 bail,
but Judge Marguerite Dougherty
released him into the custody
of the army, according to
Brooklyn District Attorney
spokesman Oren Yaniv.
Beard, an attack helicopter
mechanic, was stationed
in New York City as an army
recruiter, but was suspended
from all recruiting duties after
his arrest, according to Kelli
Bland, a US Army representative.
The army did not issue
Beard the AR-15, according to
Bland, who said recruiters are
not issued weapons.
Beard is represented by the
Legal Aid Society, which said
in a statement: “Mr. Beard is
a highly decorated member of
the U.S. Army with no prior
contact with the criminal justice
system … Judge Dougherty
was right to release our
client – who has served in both
Iraq and Afghanistan – to his
community at Fort Hamilton
instead of remanding him to a
cage at Rikers Island.”
The gunman allegedly struck the
stairs leading into his neighbor’s
house.
