Lincoln Police are investigating a case of child abuse after a gun was fired inside a mobile home in the presence of a child.

LPD said on Tuesday morning around 3:30 a.m., officers responded to reports of a domestic disturbance and a gun being fired at a home in the 200 Block of NW 18th Street.

Police said a 21-year-old man was arguing with his 27-year-old girlfriend when things escalated, and the girlfriend fired a gun inside the home while their 7-year-old child slept nearby.

Information is still limited, and the investigation is ongoing.
