Gunshot victim waits almost a day to call 911

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - Sioux Falls police don’t know why the victim of a home invasion, who was shot in the leg, waited a day before reporting the incident.

Officer Sam Clemens says the single round caused a lot of damage.  Clemens says the bullet entered the victim's thigh just above the knee, exited the back of the thigh and lodged into his calf.  He suffered three wounds from one shot.

The victim said he couldn’t stand the pain any longer and called police.

The victim says two suspects demanded money, there was a scuffle, the gun fired and they fled.
