The man shot, a 60-year-old Morton resident, sustained a bullet wound to the knee, shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday June 11, according to police Superintendent Michael Chitwood.
“We expect to charge the man who was shot with simple assault and terroristic threats,” Chitwood said. “We turned it over to the district attorney’s office. Right now we believe the shooter acted in self-defense.”
According to Chitwood, the shooter, a 24-year-old Bridgeport resident was walking on Bridge Street near James Street, from the 7-Eleven store on Baltimore Pike, with another man, 30, of Drexel Hill, when they were approached by two men who pulled up in a car.
“The two men, a father and son got out of the car and walk up to the shooter with a knife asking ‘who’s Kyle’ and the shooter says, ‘you need to know I got a gun,’” Chitwood said. “He kept saying, ‘I got a gun, I got a gun, I got a gun.’ He has a concealed weapon permit for a 9 mm. The shooter pulls the gun out and hangs it at his side. Then the knife-wielding man comes toward him and he shoots him in the knee. He told us he purposely shot him in the leg. He warned him numerous times when he came at him before he fired.”
According to Chitwood, police recovered the 9-mm handgun and a knife that looked like a gun at the scene.
“The knife is a nasty, nasty weapon,” Chitwood said. “The guy with the knife picked the wrong guy. As soon as he shot him he bends down to render aid and tells Kyle (last name not disclosed) to call 911 and the paramedics came.” . . .
