PUTNAM, Conn. (AP) -- State police arrested two men Tuesday in the shooting of a man waiting in line to be one of the first to buy a PlayStation 3 game console.

State police said William J. Robertson, 20, of Woodstock, and Andrew Patnaude, 17, of Putnam, were charged with attempted murder, robbery, assault and other crimes. They were being held in lieu of $1 million bail pending court appearances set for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Early the morning of Nov. 17, Michael Penkala was shot by two gunmen who tried to steal his cash as he waited in line to buy one of the new PlayStations at a Wal-Mart in Putnam.

Penkala, 21, of Webster, Mass., said he was shot when he refused to give up his wallet, which held more than $2,500 in cash. He is still recovering.
