BY COREY DAVIS cdavis@theitem.com A Sumter County store owner remains in serious but stable condition at Palmetto Health Richland Hospital after undergoing surgery for a single gunshot wound to the stomach following an armed robbery Monday night, according to Sumter County Sheriff's Office authorities.

Deputies said $380 was found missing from the cash register. The store was again robbed the following day at about 8:20 p.m. In that incident, authorities said a witness saw a man wearing a black mask and dark-colored T-shirt come into the store with a black revolver and yell "give me the money" and fire two to three shots. The witness said the man ran through the store's kitchen, located next to the store's checkout desk, and out the back door. Deputies said the man told authorities the robber fled in a black Ford Explorer, headed north on S.C. 261 toward Camden, but he lost sight of it and returned to the store.
