A man who “didn’t want a child” gunned down his pregnant girlfriend during a blazing late-night row in the hallway of their apartment.

Tragic mum-to-be Bridget Shenk, 35, was blasted in the chest from point-blank range as she and boyfriend Keith Jackson were arguing over the pregnancy at their home in New York.

Bridget’s mum revealed that her daughter “always wanted a child”

Bridget, who was several months pregnant, stumbled back into the apartment and collapsed in a pool of blood, officials said.

She was several months pregnant, police said.

Evil Jackson was arrested at the scene and charged with murder and possession of a weapon.

“She always wanted a child. He didn’t want a child,” she wept. “When they found out she was pregnant, she was so excited. I went with her on Monday to the doctor.”

She added that her daughter “was trying to establish a better life for her child” and had asked Jackson to move out of the apartment they shared.
