Posted

Newport News, Va. –A man is recovering after police say he shot himself in the thigh

But that’s not the story he told police.

This happened just before 8 p.m. Tuesday night at 33rd and Roanoke.

At first, police were called there because a man was reportedly shot during a robbery

But police say the man’s story just didn’t add up.

As they took a closer look, police determined that the man was never robbed and actually shot himself while he was inside his car.

This is all still under investigation.
