COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- The man accused of kidnapping his girlfriend and shooting at her and others in a car in August plead guilty Friday to attempted murder.
Handy allegedly kidnapped his girlfriend after a verbal argument Aug. 10 near Barnes Road and Powers Boulevard in Colorado Springs.
According to court documents Handy told his girlfriend they were going out east where someone was going to die.
His girlfriend told deputies Handy threatened to kill her several times and punched her in the face. At one point he gave her the gun and told her to either shoot him or herself.
When they got near Marksheffel Boulevard and Constitution Avenue the woman jumped from the car and began running.
Another woman, who had two kids in her car, stopped to pick up the girlfriend. Handy fired several shots at the car before fleeing.
According to the documents a second good samaritan, driving a jeep, tried to help by pulling alongside in an attempt to shield their car.
Handy caught up to them and pointed a pistol at the car and fired several shots before fleeing.
A third good samaritan pulled over to help and took the victim, the woman and her two children to a nearby church where they called 911.
Deputies said they found five bullet holes in the suburban.
Handy was arrested in New Mexico Aug. 31 when a Corrales, N.M. officer recognized him when he saw Handy pushing a motorcycle into a gas station. Handy attempted to flee before backup arrived but was cornered by officers and a police helicopter a short time later.
The 28-year-old will be sentenced to 30 years in prison June 21.
