Man and fetus die in chain saw home invasion

A man wielding a chain saw overnight carved a hole through the door of his estranged wife's home and fired shots through the hole, critically injuring her, killing the fetus she was carrying and also killing her new boyfriend, Metro police said today.

Police have arrested 25-year-old William Keck, on a charge of murder with a deadly weapon and a charge of attempted murder. He has been booked into the Clark County Detention Center, police said.

Police said they were called about 1:10 a.m. today to the Fountains of Villa Cordova Apartments at 2800 Eastern Ave., where they found a man shot to death in a bedroom. Police said they believe Keck carved a hole in the apartment with the chain saw, then fired through the hole with an assault rifle.

The woman, who has not been identified, was taken in critical condition to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center. Her 18-week-old fetus died, Officer Jay Rivera said.

The dead man's identity will be released by the Clark County coroner's office.
