Man Shoots Self In Leg Defending SUV
A man shot himself in the leg about 6 a.m. today as he wrestled with someone trying to break into his SUV in St. Petersburg, said George Kajtsa of the St. Petersburg Police Department.
Police found Richard X. Summers,39, wounded in the upper leg and holding down 18-year-old Marlos M. Conrad.
Kajtsa said Conrad, of 3801 W. Wallace Ave., Tampa, followed Summers' fiancé into their housing complex at 10265 Gandy Boulevard while she was driving a GMC Yukon Denali. She exited the SUV, someone tripped the alarm and she yelled for Summers.
Police say Summers, armed with a handgun, confronted Conrad inside the SUV. They struggled and the gun went off.
Conrad is being held at Pinellas County Jail on charges of strong-arm robbery and auto burglary.
