From the Wichita Eagle of November 7, 2005
Wichitan, fighting home intrusion, shoots himself
A 51-year-old Wichita man has returned home from the hospital after being wounded by his own bullet when he fired at intruders early Friday morning.
The victim told police that five men broke into his house shortly before 7:30 a.m. Friday in the 1100 block of North Woodrow and demanded his coin collection. One of them had a handgun, he said. The resident grabbed a gun of his own and fired, but the bullet ricocheted and struck him in the eye.
He was taken to Via Christi Regional Medical Center's St. Francis campus for treatment, then transferred to Wesley Medical Center Saturday for eye surgery.
He was released from the hospital on Sunday.
