MANSFIELD – A woman was shot in her right buttocks while sleeping in her upstairs bedroom at 1:35 a.m. Tuesday.

The 37-year-old woman told police she and a 62-year-old man were in an upstairs bedroom of the house in the 100 block of Baldwin Avenue when they heard multiple shots being fired at which time she was struck in the right buttocks.

Both people told police they did not see or hear anything before or after the shots were fired, according to a Mansfield police report. Two other witnesses told police they heard the shots being fired but they did not see anyone.

The woman was transported to OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital where she was treated for her injuries, according to police.

MedCentral spokesperson Christina Thompson said she had no information for a patient of that name.

Mansfield police Capt. Shari Robertson said the case was assigned to a detective Tuesday for follow up.

"At this time, we have no suspects or motive," she said.

The victim could not be reached for comment.
