A Hutchinson woman accused of shooting of Hutchinson area man back on January 30, is apparently in plea negotiations with the state, but just in case, Judge Tim Chambers Monday set a trial date for Barbara Youngblood on October 15, with a motions deadline of September 13. They will also have a status hearing on that date to see if anything is coming from plea negotiations.
Youngblood faces trial on charges of attempted 1st degree murder, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and aggravated battery for allegedly shooting Kevin Tinin while in his home east of Hutchinson.
The victim phoned 911 and told of being shot and after a search by various law enforcement officers and was located in a wooded area and flown to a Wichita hospital. He was shot in the lower stomach with the bullet exiting his leg.
Youngblood remains jailed on a 536-thousand, 500-dollars bond.
