Wichita man shot while eating breakfast in his home

WICHITA (AP) – A Wichita man is hospitalized after being shot through a sliding glass door while eating breakfast in his home.

Police Sgt. Brian Sigman says that someone opened fire with a high-powered rifle about 5:30 a-m, Wednesday behind the south Wichita home. Sigman says the 26-year-old man was shot once in the back and taken to a hospital, where he’s expected to recover.

The glass door leads to a patio, with a tall privacy fence just a few feet from the house. The victim told police he doesn’t have any enemies and didn’t see anyone outside.

Investigators say the gunman may have fired a second shot into a neighbor’s driveway while fleeing from the scene.
