BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - A woman is in custody after a morning shooting at a Third Avenue West motel in Birmingham.

A 2-year-old that was in the motel room at the time of the shooting is being cared for by a Birmingham Police Department community service officer, said police spokesman Sgt. Johnny Williams Jr. The woman is currently undergoing questioning.

The shooting happened at 6:15 a.m. at the Southern Comfort Motel. Police were dispatched to the first-floor room on an assault call. When they arrived, they found a man shot through the cheek. He was taken to UAB Hospital, and is expected to survive the wound.

"We'll have to wait until the investigator has interviewed all parties involved and witnesses until we know if she will face charges,'' Williams said. "It appears to be a domestic situation."
