DAYTON — One of two men shot Wednesday night as they sat in a car in the parking lot of a Key Bank on Salem Avenue was Aaron Pogue, starting center for Division II state high school basketball champion Dunbar High School.

Robert Powell, the father of the other man who was wounded, said his son, Dorian Hoover, 25, and Pogue, 18, were waiting for him to bring them gas because their car had run empty.

Dayton Lt. John Bardun said police, responding to reports of a shooting at 9:39 p.m. next door to a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant at 2905 Salem Ave., found one man shot in the side and another man at Salem and Victoria avenues shot in the foot.

Neither wound was considered life-threatening, Bardun said. Pogue was taken to Miami Valley Hospital where he was reported in good condition Thursday morning. Hoover was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital. His condition was not known.

Powell said his son, a former Sinclair Community College basketball player, was the one shot in the foot.

Police, performing a sweep of the area around the shooting scene, found shell casings at an apartment complex on Stanhope Avenue, 100 yards north of the bank parking lot, Bardun said.

Police believe the shots were fired from that location, he said, noting investigators said they found one slug in an ATM outside the bank building. There are no suspects, Bardun said.

"They were just sitting in the car because they had run out of gas," said Powell, 47. "These are school kids and they don't do anything. This is crazy."

Pogue, after he was shot, ran into the restaurant where employee Robert Bradley said he locked the front door and told the four customers inside to get down. Bradley, who said he knows Pogue, said he was working the drive-thru when he heard the gunfire and saw the victims bolt from a sedan.

Pogue's high school coach, Peter Pullen, was at Miami Valley Hospital.

"He was shot in the upper chest, but (the bullet) doesn't seem to be touching any vital organs," Pullen said.
