CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cleveland man is accused of shooting a woman in the arm with a semiautomatic rifle shortly after he learned she was pregnant with his child.

The 27-year-old man has not been charged in the Thursday shooting on West 83rd Street near Lorain Avenue, according to court records.

He remains in custody at the Cuyahoga County Jail, records say.

The man fired a large, black semiautomatic rifle at a 30-year-old woman about 1:40 a.m. as she ran from the home, according to a police report.

The shot hit the woman's left arm, but she continued to run, the report says. Officers found her on West 85th Street, and Cleveland EMS took her to MetroHealth for treatment.

The woman told police she did not know who shot her, but a neighbor identified the man as the shooter, the report says.

The woman's mother, who lives with the neighbor, told police that the man recently learned the woman was pregnant with his child.

The man admitted to shooting at the woman after an argument, but he told officers it was an accident, the report says.

Officers found the semiautomatic rifle in the man's home and a 9 mm bullet casing outside the house.

The man's criminal history includes a 2010 conviction for aggravated robbery, according to Cuyahoga County court records. He was sentenced to three years in prison in that case.
