The South Korean Defense Ministry said June 23 that a soldier who had run away after allegedly killing five colleagues has been captured following an unsuccessful suicide attempt.
A ministry official said the 22-year-old sergeant surnamed Yim shot himself on the side of his abdomen but failed to kill himself. The official said Yim had been taken to a nearby hospital.
There had been a massive manhunt for the soldier since authorities said he killed five and wounded seven June 21 in Gangwon province before fleeing. (AP)
