Kan. 14-year-old arrested in shooting that critically wounds man

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Wichita 14-year-old has been arrested after a weekend shooting that critically wounded a trucker.

Police Lt. James Espinoza says the victim, a 32-year-old from Arizona, and another man had delivered merchandise to a Wal-Mart before trying to buy drugs in a nearby parking lot.

He says the truckers met several males, and shots rang out. The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1AdRVpZ ) the victim, whom police haven’t identified, was hit three times, once in the face, twice in the body.

Espinoza said the wounded man remained in the hospital in very critical condition Tuesday.

Police are seeking at least one other suspect.

The teenager, whom police haven’t identified because of his age, has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and was being held in a juvenile detention center.
