The son of a South Korean immigrant accused of shooting up the United Nations said yesterday his dad “wouldn’t hurt an insect.”
Steven Kim Jr. also says his dad didn’t intend the gunplay as a violent act.
Steven Kim Sr., a 57-year-old post-office employee in Chicago, fired seven shots from a .357 revolver outside the Secretariat building on Oct. 3.
Charged with making a violent attack on foreign officials, he remains in federal custody in Manhattan.
Kim’s 26-year-old son backed his father’s claim that the suffering of the North Korean people has gone largely ignored.
