Girard Police said it is not known if the woman will face charges after shooting the 18-year-old in the arm.
"She stated that the bedroom door opened where she was at—and she had a gun readily available and she fired a round at someone coming through the door.""We will collect all the facts, and we will present it to a Prosecutor, not to be malicious. But we have to present the facts like we would in any other case," Norman said."At that point the Prosecutor will make a decision whether we will go ahead and charge or not charge in this case.
Police recovered a handgun from the scene of the shooting, which had four live rounds in and one fired cylinder. The 18-year-old is reported to be resting after being released from hospital following her treatment for her gunshot wound."If you realize someone has a gun for protection, and they're not expecting you—announce yourself when you enter the home, or even if you're getting up to get a drink of water in the middle of the night, just announce yourself," he told WFMJ.
Police tape left following a shooting July 7, 2016 in St. Paul, Minnesota. A woman in Ohio shot her daughter in their home when she made a surprise trip home from college.
