An Anchorage man facing criminal charges for accidentally shooting himself in the leg at a downtown bar walked away from a hospital, according to the Anchorage Police Department.
Andrew Abellanosa, 30, was taken to a local hospital Sunday morning after officers responding to a shooting at the Playhouse bar found him on the floor of the entry of the bar with gunshot wounds to his leg, police said.
Abellanosa allegedly shot himself twice in the leg and was bleeding profusely.

Those injuries did not stop Abellanosa from leaving his hospital bed around 10 p.m. Monday, a day before he was supposed to be discharged and arrested on five charges including assault and weapons misconduct, police said.
Anyone with information about Abellanosa's whereabouts is asked to call APD at 907-786-8900, or submit an anonymous tip through Anchorage Crime Stoppers.
