CLEVELAND, Ohio-- A 22-year-old woman was hit in the back by a stray bullet as two men tried to fend off three armed men who broke into the home, police said.

No arrests have been made in the case. The woman refused medical treatment.

The attempted home invasion happened about 9 a.m. Tuesday at a home in the 1500 block of Ardoyne, east of Valley Road in the city's Old Brooklyn neighborhood.

A 27-year-old man told police that he woke up to someone pushing in his door, police reports say. The man saw a handgun sticking through the door, police said.

The man closed the door on the gunman's arm, police reports say. Two other robbers were standing outside the door, police said.

The 27-year-old man's 23-year-old brother woke up and helped keep the door closed, police reports say.

The 22-year-old woman walked into the room after hearing yelling. The gunman fired one shot while his arm was stuck in the door, police said. The bullet hit the woman in the back, likely on a ricochet, police said. The bullet did not break her skin, police reports say.

The 27-year-old man grabbed his rifle and shot through the door, missing the robbers, police reports say.

The robbers ran off and the 27-year-old man called police. A K-9 officer followed the robbers' scent for a few houses but police did not find the robbers, police reports say.
