From Terre Haute Tribune Star:

A 71-year-old Terre Haute man was shot in the abdomen Saturday night as he was fending off an armed robber. About 11 p.m., an armed man entered Seelyville Liquor Store in the 9000 block of U.S. 40 and demanded money from the store’s owner, James Magnett. A struggle ensued and the suspect shot Magnett once in the abdomen, said Detective Lt. Tim Gossett with the Vigo County Sheriff’s Department. Magnett was taken to Union Hospital, but a spokesman said no information was available Sunday. On Sunday, police were reviewing a surveillance tape of the incident and had not arrested any suspects, Gossett said. The suspect ran from the scene and is described as wearing a mask, a white T-shirt, dark-colored pants and dark gloves. Indiana State Police and Seelyville Fire Department also responded. Anyone with information on the robbery may call the sheriff’s department at (812) 462-3226 or CrimeStoppers at (812) 238-STOP or toll-free at 1-800-632-7463.
