A man accused of shooting a customer
he thought was a police officer at a Chinese restaurant in Orange County last year has pleaded guilty.
According
to the Orange County District Attorney's Office, Hector Luna admitted Thursday to first-degree assault for shooting 48-year-old Charles
Miller.
Authorities
say Luna thought Miller was a police officer when he
shot him point blank in
the stomach outside of the “You You” restaurant in Wallkill.
Miller
survived but has permanent injuries.
Prosecutors
will recommend Luna serve seven and a half years in prison with five years of
post-release supervision when he's sentenced in January.
