HUTCHINSON, Kan. — One of the suspects involved in the June 20 shooting that led to a six-hour standoff has been formally charged by the state.
Eighteen-year-old Tyson Samuels has been charged with aggravated battery for the wounding of Jacob Foley.
Samuels and Brendan Jones were at a home in the 300 block of West 8th and were apparently planning to fight with the victim. During the course of that fight, a handgun was pulled from a fanny pack, and Jones allegedly fired several shots. One of the bullets struck Foley in his left thigh. There were a number of others present at the time of the shooting.
Later in the morning, police got word that Jones was at a home in the 300 block of West 16th, where the standoff occurred. Samuels eventually surrendered, but Jones got to the door and began shooting at officers. Ten officers returned fire, striking Jones.
Jones was taken to a Wichita hospital for treatment of his wounds.
Samuels is also a suspect in an earlier aggravated robbery case from April 26. He is scheduled to return to court July 17.
