Self Inflicted Justice

KOKOMO (WISH) - A Howard County man is behind bars after he robbed a convenient store and then accidentally shot himself in the groin.

The incident happened on Ohio Street in Kokomo. The suspect was caught after a family member called 911.

Just before 4:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, investigators say 25-year-old Derrick Kosch walked through the front door of the Village Pantry in Kokomo with a handgun and pointed at the woman working the counter.

Detectives say the store's grainy surveillance video doesn't paint a very good picture of the fear on the woman's face or what also happened during the robbery.

Investigators say Kosch accidentally fired the gun and the bullet struck him in the groin.

According to AP, he shot himself right square in the nuts.
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.

Bwahahaahhaahha!
