Wichita man accused of killing man who had shot himself
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita police say they have arrested a man who shot a 27-year-old roommate who was suicidal and had just shot himself. Police said 28-year-old Charles Burnham was arrested Tuesday and is being held on $500,000 bond facing a possible charge of first-degree murder. Officers who went to a home early Tuesday found a 27-year-old man dead. Capt. Jason Stephens said officers learned the victim was suicidal and had shot himself once in the head. Stephens said Burnham then took the gun and shot the man two more times. First-degree murder requires premeditation. Stephens said Burnham and the man had a conversation that led to Burnham’s involvement in the shooting.
