Shooting over 'wedgie' spawns attempted murder charge

Associated Press

Published Aug 26, 2002 WEDG27

LOWER SOUTHAMPTON, Pa. -- A man accused of trying to kill a friend who gave him a ``wedgie'' will stand trial on an attempted murder charge, a judge ruled.

Daniel Strouss, 19, was attending a Phish concert last year when Eric Kassoway sneaked up behind him and yanked up his underwear, according to testimony at a hearing Thursday.

Strouss, of Richboro, held a grudge for months before shooting Kassoway on June 12, authorities said.

On the night of the shooting, Strouss drove to Kassoway's home and waited until Kassoway came home, then shot him in the arm and leg, authorities said. Kassoway nearly died from loss of blood.

Strouss' attorney, Al Cepparulo, said he did not dispute the prosecution's version of events.

``This is a tragedy for the victim. All I can say is my client is going through therapy,'' he said last week.
