A woman who was shot in the head early this morning at a Decatur apartment is expected to survive, police said.

The woman was asleep in an apartment on the 2200 block of Harrison Street Southeast when someone fired into her home, said Decatur police spokesman Lt. Proncey Robertson.

"Apparently it went through a wall and hit her right behind the ear," Robertson said. "It went through to her cheek."

The victim was taken to Huntsville Hospital. Her condition wasn't immediately clear, but Robertson said she is expected to survive.

Police haven't made an arrest in connection with the shooting, but suspects have been identified. Witnesses were able to give investigators a description of the suspect vehicle, Robertson said. Police were called to the scene around 3:30 a.m. to investigate shots fired. A second 911 call reported a person had been shot.

"When officers arrived, witnesses directed them to the apartment, where they found the woman with a gunshot wound to the head," Robertson said.

Police haven't identified a motive in the shooting, but Robertson said they don't believe the incident was random.

"It's sounding like the shooter had something against the victim," he said. "We don't think somebody was just driving through the streets and shooting into random apartments. It's being investigated."

Police aren't yet releasing a description of the suspect vehicle. The victim of the shooting hasn't been publicly identified, but Robertson said she is believed to be a young woman.
