Overview
- Police say they were called to Kings Run Court around 10:45 p.m. on Oct. 5 and found 23-year-old Rachel Counts with a gunshot wound; she was pronounced dead despite lifesaving efforts.
- Prosecutors allege Horne pulled out a revolver during a card game, removed all but one round, said “let’s play Russian roulette,” then pointed the gun at Counts and fired.
- Horne, 23, was arrested the next morning, charged with murder, and is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
- A judge set bond at $1 million after prosecutors outlined the allegations, while the defense argued the shooting was not intentional and requested a $100,000 bond.
- A judge commented that treating a firearm like a toy would make the circumstances a tragedy if proven, and the allegations have not been adjudicated.
