Police: Man Shoots Self In Groin During Kidnap Attempt

POSTED: 11:09 am CST November 16, 2006

WICHITA, Kan. -- Wichita police said a botched kidnapping ended with one of the assailants shooting himself in the groin.


The man had just stuck the gun back into his waistband when it fired, shooting him in the left testicle. He cringed, causing the gun to fire again and strike him in the left calf.


When the shooting ended, police said, the 23-year-old man managed to walk himself into the hospital for treatment. He and his two accomplices -- ages 18 and 20 -- were arrested on suspicion of aggravated attempted kidnapping and conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Police said the men were attempting to kidnap a teenager in a dispute over stereo speakers.
