Shooting probed
EAST LIVERPOOL -- Police are investigating the shooting of Thomas G. Potts of Bank Street. Potts, 39, was in East Liverpool City Hospital, where a hospital spokesman this morning refused to provide information on his condition.
Police said Potts answered a knock at his door Sunday afternoon and a man Potts said he doesn't know forced his way inside the apartment. Police said the man pointed a small-caliber handgun at Potts and demanded money, and the two struggled. The man fired several shots, with one striking Potts in the upper torso, police said.
The man took cash and fled.
Detective Don Fickes said police are searching for a white man in his late 20s, about 6 feet tall, with medium build, short brown hair and a goatee. Fickes said the man was wearing light blue jeans, a green Army-style jacket and a Cleveland Browns cap.

Salary increase
WARREN -- Dr. James Enyeart has been given a $20,000 raise after less than three months on the job as Trumbull County Health commissioner.
The increase was to compensate Enyeart for taking on additional responsiblity as the department's medical director and made good on a contractual promise to re-visit his salary after a short probationary period.
Enyeart was hired in September under a three-year contract that called for him to be paid $50,000 a year, with no benefits, for working 24 hours a week. Dr. Enyeart had asked for more.
"I wouldn't do the job for what he was getting paid," said Dr. Douglas Burchette, health board chairman.
Dr. Enyeart will now make $70,000 a year.
