A man was charged today with two felonies for stealing nearly a dozen firearms from a gun store this week, one of which was used to accidentally shoot his girlfriend's 15-year-old brother in the head.

Mark Amabisca, 18, of San Bernardino is expected to be arraigned today in San Bernardino Superior Court. He has been charged with commercial burglary and grand theft of firearms, according to court records.

Police said Amabisco and friends cut a hole in the roof of Magnum Range on South Lugo Avenue earlier this week and stole nearly a dozen rifles and handguns.

Early Wednesday, Amabisca's 14-year-old sister was handling the gun and accidentally shot her brother, Hugho Espinoza.

Hugho remains on life support this morning, officials said.
