Suspect apparently shot by own cohorts during robbery

When police responded to a Northeast Kansas City shooting Thursday night, the victim told officers he was walking down the street, heard a gunshot, then felt pain in his chin.

He was sent to a hospital, but soon placed under arrest.

Officers learned he had actually been shot — likely by one of his own accomplices — while attempting to rob a nearby house minutes earlier, according a police report.

The robbery victims told police it was about 6:30 p.m. when several people kicked in their door near East Seventh Street and Van Brunt Boulevard, wielded a gun and ordered them to the ground. They heard a loud “bang,” then everyone ran back out.

A witness saw the man who had been shot run into an alley. The other suspects escaped.

Smart criminals.

See, this kind of thing just doesn't happen in Australia.

When they plan a home invasion robbery, they're much too smart to shoot at each other.
