AKRON, Ohio – An Akron man is accused of shooting his mother in her abdomen during an argument early Thursday, according to police, who described the woman’s wounds as non-life threatening.

Gerry Simmons, 38, has been charged with felonious assault and having weapons under disability, according to Akron Municipal Court records.

Officers responded just after 6 a.m. Thursday after receiving multiple 911 calls about a shooting on the 100 block of Tate Terrace near West Thornton Street, just south of downtown, according to a police report.

The 62-year-old victim told officers that her son, Simmons, shot her during an argument, police said. Paramedics brought her to Cleveland Clinic Akron General for treatment.

Investigators searched the area and found Simmons, who was arrested without incident, police said.

Simmons is in custody at the Summit County Jail and is scheduled to appear in court Friday for an arraignment, court records show.
