Sheriff's deputies are looking for two male suspects in the shooting Tuesday night of two men in an apparent attempted robbery at a townhouse apartment on Forest Park Drive.

Deputies dispatched to a city block of apartments at 539 Forest Park about 8:40 p.m. found two men inside one of the units who had been shot, sheriff's Chief Deputy Phil Plummer said.

Both were taken to Miami Valley Hospital — one in critical condition with arm and chest wounds and the other in stable condition with a leg wound, Plummer said.

The names and ages of the victims were not available.

Deputies found them in the apartment, with $20 bills scattered throughout the unit that appeared to be in disarray, Plummer said.

Deputies also found several 9 mm shell casings and a handgun, he said.

Investigators are trying to piece together the circumstances of the shooting and descriptions of the shooters, who were believed to have fled the scene in a gold car, Plummer said.
