Henrico Police are searching for a suspect accused shooting an elderly
man during an attempted robbery Saturday.

The victim was walking with a 6-year-old to the store in the 6000 block
of Nine Mile Road late Saturday evening when they were approached by a
suspect armed with a handgun. The suspect demanded money from the
victim, then shot him when the victim said he had no money.

The suspect then fled the scene on foot. The 6 year old was not injured
in the incident.

The gun shot victim, identified by police as John Vaughan, is recovering
in the hospital from serious injuries.

about 5 foot 9 with a thin build. Police said he has short hair and was
last seen wearing a white tee shirt and gray pants.

incident. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at
