(KAIR)--A Lansing man has pleaded guilty to attempted murder.
That word comes in a news release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, who said 20-year-old Andrew Foderaro entered the plea Friday in Leavenworth County District Court.
Along with attempted murder, Foderaro’s plea also includes possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, and possession of a stolen 9 mm handgun.
Sentencing is scheduled for June 14.
The charges stem from what authorities say was an October 27, 2017 shooting.
The victim was shot twice, and suffered a gunshot wound to his upper back/shoulder region, as well as to his left thigh.
According to the victim, he had been called by Foderaro to purchase drugs, with Foderaro saying they should meet near the Easton Post Office.
The victim told Leavenworth County Sheriff’s investigators that instead of purchasing the drugs, Foderaro shot at him, continuing to shoot as the victim attempted to escape.
Authorities say the firearm used had been stolen.
