Third man charged in PlayStation shooting

DANIELSON, Conn. -- A third suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting of a man waiting to buy a new PlayStation 3 two weeks ago in Putnam -- which is just across the Rhode Island border.

Armando Guzman, 29, of Southbridge, Mass., was charged with attempted murder, robbery, assault and other crimes following his arrest in Webster, Mass., late last night, Connecticut state police said.

Guzman waived extradition to Connecticut after a court appearance in Massachusetts today and was being held on $1 million bond at the state police barracks in Danielson. He was scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Danielson Superior Court.

Guzman and two other men are accused of attempting to rob a group of people waiting outside the Putnam Wal-Mart to purchase PlayStation 3 consoles in the early morning hours of Nov. 17, the first day they went on sale.
