12/27/2004

A man believed to be in his 30s was found shot in a car yesterday that he apparently had driven to a South Toledo apartment complex at 2555 Eastgate Rd., police said.

He was taken to the Medical College of Ohio Hospitals, where police said he was in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds. His identity was not available. Witnesses told police they saw the man, a white male, driving north on Eastgate at a slow speed about 2:15 p.m., then turn into the driveway of the apartments and ask for help.

Maumee police checked several small apartment units in Maumee on Michigan Avenue which Eastgate turns into in Maumee but found nothing unusual, Maumee Sgt. Gayle Lohrbach said.

Sergeant Lohrbach said Toledo police told them the man said he had been shot in an apartment but apparently did not give a location or other details.
