A man accused an IHOP cook in Muncie, Indiana, of having sex with his wife and opened fire inside the restaurant, court documents and reports say. During the confrontation, he accidentally shot himself, then fled before police could stop him.
After leaving the scene, he allegedly continued the confrontation outside and led officers on a high-speed chase. Outlets report he drove at speeds above 110 mph in his wife’s SUV, before crashing into a home and being taken into custody with the help of a Taser.
Accounts across the outlets are consistent on the core sequence: the alleged affair accusation at IHOP, the gunfire and the self-inflicted wound, the flight from police, and the eventual crash and arrest. Differences are mainly in the emphasis—some outlets focus more on the alleged knife threat, while others highlight the speed of the chase and the self-shot incident—without changing the overall timeline described in court materials and reporting.
