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.

New Events For Skye


As of last night Skye is now a Brownie Scout. As odd as this sounds (I'm still surprised myself) I have volunteered to be "Camp Mom". This means that I will have to go through training and courses to become certified as an "Outdoor Trainer". I will be the one leading and teaching the troops about the great outdoors and survival skills. I will also be the one that is Leader of the camping trip that will take place around April of next year. Oh boy, what have I gotten myself into! I AM excited at the same time and I look forward to the outdoor and camping trips. The training sessions are roughly 8 hours which means my Saturdays will be consumed until my training is complete. That doesn't include the regular Troop meetings during the week.

Oh, just as a reminder..... GS cookie sales are starting soon and all the funds go directly to the troops for materials, camping trips, and educational programs so get your orders in!
