A West Phoenix teen who accidentally shot himself during a February robbery is now facing multiple charges.
Police say the 16-year-old, who was already on probation for multiple felony offenses, robbed a man of $300 in the area of 51st Avenue and Thomas Road on Feb. 18.
During the robbery, police say he was maneuvering a handgun in his waistband and accidentally shot himself. He then called 911, using the victim's phone.
After spending three months at St. Joseph's Hospital, the teen was arrested upon his release on May 23. Court records did not indicate which part of his anatomy was hit by the bullet.
He has been charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, possession of stolen property, and misconduct involving weapons.
