Police have said they believe Patterson, 27, and her 6-year-old son were shot by Jovonie L. McClendon Jr., shortly before he took his life in a video witnesses said they saw on Facebook Live.
The shootings occurred on Sagebrook Drive, off Spring Valley Road between the Dayton Mall and Austin Landing.
A hospital spokeswoman said she could not provide any further details on the status of Patterson.
McClendon, a 33-year-old U.S. Army veteran who worked for the U.S. Postal Service, called Miami Twp. police about 11:30 a.m. that day and told them he had just killed his girlfriend and her son, Miami Twp. Police Chief Ron Hess has said.

Both deaths were from gunshot wounds to the head with McClendon’s being self-inflicted, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.
