A woman walked in on her boyfriend having sex with another woman early Tuesday morning and vowed to go home and get a gun, police said.
She made good on her promise, police say, returning to the house where she found her boyfriend and shooting him once in the groin as he sat in a lawn chair in the front yard of a south Wichita house at about 2:15 a.m. Tuesday. The woman, 44, was found and arrested a few minutes later at Lincoln and McLean, Lt. James Espinoza said. The 44-year-old shooting victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment. He was in serious condition late Tuesday morning, Espinoza said.
The suspect went looking for her boyfriend at a house he was remodeling in the 1100 block of South Emporia, Espinoza said. She found him there with another woman, who left after the girlfriend departed.
The victim was talking to two other men when she returned an hour or so later, Espinoza said. She approached the victim and pulled the trigger, but the handgun malfunctioned. She then cleared the gun mechanism and fired again, Espinoza said.
“She walked right up on him,” Espinoza said. “I think there was some disbelief that that was going to happen.” The woman was booked on suspicion of aggravated battery and not attempted murder, Espinoza said, because she fired one shot and was aiming specifically at the groin.
The Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office will determine what, if any, charges, will be filed in the case.
When I was in school, a girl caught her husband cheating, that night while he slept, she super glued it to his leg.
...and he LOST his nuts because the gun did NOT malfunction!!
$10 bucks says here defense will be “Battered Woman Syndrome”
Dont ya just hate it when this happens......
She had absolutely NO right to do that to him!
They’re not married.
There was a woman whose husband physically abused her, way back in 70s I think, and when he went to sleep she sewed him up in the quilt and took a baseball bat and beat him to death.
Well, I guess he won’t be doing that anymore!
he ain’t nuts no more...he’s louise now
He missed two chances to save himself.
First chance: After she told him she was coming back to the house with a gun
Second chance: After the gun malfunctioned
I have no problem at all with people using ‘whatever means necessary’ for cheating spouses.
It should be a $15 fine, and they can just mail it, or pay online.
He was nutsed when he didn’t run...
sounds like a Carrie Underwood song...
It does my heart good to see that somebody's casualty clearing drills were not in vain.

WHAT was he thinking? Or drinking? I guess he figured she was never gonna go home and get a gun and come back and shoot him.
But she did.
Ouch. Considering the transgression, I think she shot him in that spot on purpose........
Gimme three steps and you’ll never see me no more, fo ‘ sure!
Need more evidence to judge guilt or innocence.
