KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jackson County deputies are investigating the shooting of a soldier who was robbed while jogging on Monday afternoon.

Investigators said the 25-year-old Fort Riley-based soldier was on a four-day pass and had gone for a run on a trail in the area near Blue Mills Road and Little Blue Trace at about 2:30 p.m. when a man with a gun approached him.

After taking the soldier's water-bladder backpack, the robber got distracted and the soldier tried to jump into a weed-covered area.

"The victim thought he could get away so he ran away from the suspect, at which time the suspect fired a shot striking the victim in the back of the leg," said Jackson County Sheriff Mike Sharp.
