Springfield police continue search for suspect after man shot in stomach

Emergency crews found a man with a single gunshot wound to the stomach. Dispatchers said that the man was reportedly alert and conscious, and was being transported to Miami Valley Hospital.

CareFlight was called to the scene, and after initially declining to fly because of weather conditions, a helicopter was dispatched to pick up the injured man, dispatchers said. The man’s condition is not currently known, but he is alive, an SPD official said Friday morning.

A suspect was identified by witnesses to the shooting, but dispatchers said that they hadn’t arrested anyone yet. A police official declined to give a description of the suspect.
