A Wichita man faces charges of attempted first-degree murder and kidnapping after allegedly shooting his wife outside an elementary school earlier this week.

 

 46-year-old Vincent Solomon made an appearance in Sedgwick County Court yesterday morning while on a gurney as he recovers after being shot by a sheriff's deputy during the incident. Solomon also faces charges of aggravated assault on a police officer and interference in the case.

 

The incident occurred on Tuesday morning outside of Cessna Elementary School after Solomon and his wife dropped their children off at the school. An argument began between the two and Solomon is accused of shooting the woman multiple times. When she ran, Solomon chased her, laid on top of her, and placed a gun to her head. Deputies arrived and shot Solomon twice. Both he and the woman were taken to a nearby hospital. The woman remains in the hospital and is expected to survive her wounds.
