North Webster Man Admits Shooting Self-Inflicted

Kosciusko County Police say it turns out a rural North Webster man was not shot by a stranger last month – he shot himself. Police say 30-year-old John Miller has admitted that his gunshot wound to the chest was self-inflicted. On October 30th, Miller originally told police that another man shot him as Miller stepped out of his mobile home near Backwater Lake. At the time, police searched in vain for the alleged gunman. Police say they’ve forwarded the case to the prosecutor’s office for review and they’re not releasing any more information about it.
