According to Dayton police Lt. Steven Bauer, crews found a black woman with a gunshot wound, which the lieutenant said was not life-threatening. Medics took her to Miami Valley Hospital in unknown condition.
A 911 caller told dispatchers that the victim was shot in the leg but was still conscious. Dispatch records said that the victim was a 34-year-old woman.
One caller said that the shooter lived on Westdale Court, and a separate call from around the same time came from a man who said he lives on Westdale and that two armed women had tried to kick in his door.
The earlier incident was reported about an hour before, when a caller said that she wanted to report a fight with her child’s father’s girlfriend, adding that the fight left her with injuries to her face and neck. She declined when asked if she would like a medic to come check on her.
The lieutenant said that the earlier incident was connected to the shooting, and that no suspect is currently in custody.
He said that the department’s Violent Offender Unit is actively is currently investigating the shooting, and asked for any member of the public who has information on the shooting to call 937-333-1232 to speak to a detective, or to report the information anonymously through Miami Valley Crime Stoppers at 937-222-STOP (7867) or on their website.
