NEW LONDON, Conn. — Police say a 49-year-old New London man who was shot by police last month planned the shooting after contemplating suicide.

Kevin Kenny was in court Tuesday charged with threatening, reckless endangerment, breach of peace, misuse of the 911 system and falsely reporting an incident.

Kenny was shot three times on May 28 by officers who were responding to a report that a man had shot a woman in a hallway of his apartment building.

According to the arrest warrant, Kenny has acknowledged making the call and giving police a description of himself.

Police say Kenny pointed what was later determined to be an unloaded BB gun at officers and was shot.

Police obtained the arrest warrant June 21 but were unable to serve it while Kenny was recovering from his injuries.
