(KAIR)--An Ozawkie man is going to prison, sentenced in connection with a self-inflicted gunshot committed with an illegally possessed handgun.

According to the Office of U.S. Attorney Stephen McAllister, 26-year-old Keeno Collins was sentenced Tuesday to 2 ½ years in federal prison.

According to the office, Collins pleaded guilty to one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

In his plea, Collins admitted that he was found by Topeka police, on the grounds of the Topeka West High School, suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper left arm. Collins told police he didn’t know what happened. However, with police finding a gun nearby, they were able to match the DNA on the weapon to Collins, who was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a 2015 Shawnee County drug charge conviction.
