A South Toledo man was shot in the stomach last night in his home after two men, one armed with a silver handgun, entered the residence and demanded cash, police said.

The name of the victim, who lives at 106 South Detroit Ave., was not available last night.

He was taken to the University of Toledo Medical Center, formerly the Medical College of Ohio Hospital. His condition also was not available.

The victim was shot just before 7 p.m. after he initially refused to hand over cash to the suspects. He gave them money after being shot, and the suspects fled in a white vehicle, police said.
