Police: Suspect shot man, himself
Posted on: Thursday, 9 April 2009, 14:27 CDT
Police in New York said a man shot himself in the ankle while firing his .45-caliber pistol at his girlfriend's ex-beau.
Investigators said the victim, Derick Jordan, 25, stopped at the home of his ex-girlfriend, Jasmine Ortiz, 22, at 11:50 a.m. Tuesday to drop off some clothes for their 4-year-old daughter, the New York Post reported Thursday.
Jordan began arguing with Ortiz's new boyfriend, Lance Williams Jr., 30, and the second man eventually pulled out his gun and shot Jordan in the left leg, police said. The suspect continued firing, but managed only to shoot himself in the ankle, investigators said.
He's obviously not a very good shot,
a law-enforcement source said.
Jordan identified Williams as the shooter while they were both being wheeled into Lincoln Hospital on gurneys and police handcuffed the suspect.
