Robbery Suspect Shoots Self In Genitals
Shooting Caught On Surveillance Tape

KOKOMO, Ind. -- Police said a Kokomo man accidentally shot himself in the genitals while robbing a convenience store early Tuesday.

Kokomo police said they were called to a Village Pantry store at about 4:20 a.m. after a call from a clerk.

The female clerk told police that a man came into the store with a semiautomatic handgun, grabbed her hair and demanded cash and cigarettes before handing her a white cloth bag, WRTV-TV in Indianapolis reported.

The clerk said that as she retrieved the cigarettes, she heard a gunshot and turned to confront the man, who yelled that he had shot himself.

"The bullet traveled through his right testicle ... and then into the bottom part of his leg," Kokomo police Lt. Don Whitehead said.

Police said the man, whom they identified as 25-year-old Derrick Kosch, grabbed the bag full of cash and fled the store.

In-store surveillance cameras showed that Kosch shot himself as he placed the gun into the waistband of his pants, police said.

Shortly after the robbery, dispatchers got a call from someone in a home located several blocks away from the store about a man who was shot.

When officers arrived, they found Kosch. The home belongs to his grandmother, police said.

"He said he had been shot (and) someone was trying to rob him," said the grandmother, who was not named. "In the meantime, I found out that he was trying to rob somebody else."

Kosch was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Officers said that while at the home, they found the bag of money that was taken from the convenience store and clothes seen on the robber in the surveillance tape.

Police said Kosch was arrested on robbery and criminal recklessness charges. Police said they were looking for the gun.

KOKOMO, Ind. - Oh, shoot! A man accidentally shot himself in the groin as he was robbing a convenience store Tuesday, police said.

A clerk told police a man carrying a semiautomatic handgun entered the Village Pantry demanding cash and a pack of cigarettes. The clerk put the cash in a bag and as she turned to get the cigarettes, she heard the gun discharge.

Police say surveillance video shows the man shooting himself as he placed the gun in the waistband of his pants. The clerk wasn't injured.

A short time later, police found 25-year-old Derrick Kosch at a home with a gunshot wound to his right testicle and lower left leg.

Kosch was released from the hospital Tuesday and booked into the Howard County jail on a charge of armed robbery, criminal recklessness and battery. He is being held on a $100,000 cash bail. A jail official did not know if he had retained an attorney Wednesday.

Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot

I wonder what caliber it was?

New meaning to the phrase "premature ejaculation." A definite Darwin award nominee.

i read another article on this that mentioned that the guy actually still grabbed the bag of cash after shooting himself in the nuts...

i do have to give him credit for his dedication. somehow, i think shooting myself in the nuts would make me forget all about the cash.

guess i wouldn't cut it as a bad guy...

OK, so it wasn't REALLY a duplicate... you guys just couldn't SEE it yet as it hadn't been approved in the "news" section...

Bear with me... noob mod at the wheel!
If you should happen to be banned during my first week, I probably just hit the wrong button or something.



That said, here's my reply that I posted on the thread that wasn't a thread...
