UPDATE: Wednesday, September 12, 2012

A 25-year-old man remains in critical condition following Tuesday's robbery and suicide attempt at a Walmart Neighborhood Market in southeast Wichita.

Police say the suspect walked into the store located at Harry and Webb Tuesday afternoon, with gauze wrapped around his hands and neck. He handed a note to the pharmacist demanding a large list of prescription narcotic pain medications.

The pharmacist alerted other staff to call police, and when they arrived the suspect ran out the store's back door. He dropped what turned out to be a pellet gun in a field behind the store and pulled out a knife.

As officers approached, the man began slashing his own neck and one of his wrists. Police used a taser to subdue the man, and he was transported to an area hospital with critical injuries.

Police say he is expected to recover and will be arrested and booked once released from the hospital.

No one else was hurt.
