PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 Police in Montgomery County are investigating after a 41-year-old man was found shot dead in a cemetery overnight.<\/p>\n
The Montgomery County District Attorney\u2019s Office and Cheltenham police said Brian Horter\u2019s body was found in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Glenside shortly after midnight.<\/p>\n
Police said they received calls about hearing a gunshot in the cemetery. There, officials said they found Horter\u2019s body and a firearm nearby. <\/p>\n
Horter had suffered a single gunshot wound and was taken to Abington Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. <\/p>\n
Last month, Bensalem police issued a warrant for Horter\u2019s arrest, accusing him of conspiracy to commit identity theft in Bucks County. <\/p>\n
Court records show Horter was already facing drug charges in Bucks County and has been in and out of prison since 2003.<\/p>\n
In 2016, police seized an AK-47 from Horter\u2019s property in Northeast Philadelphia. A pipe bomb was covertly stored with the firearm, and police unwittingly brought it into the police station. Horter pleaded guilty and was sentenced to federal prison in that case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 Police in Montgomery County are investigating after a 41-year-old man was found shot dead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":233520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[11810,31,19869,69,71,70,220],"class_list":["post-233519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-cemetery","tag-crime","tag-glenside","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-shooting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
