CLEVELAND, Ohio — A man’s gun jammed as he tried to shoot his ex-girlfriend as she ran to a Cleveland daycare center for help, police reports say.

No charges have been filed in the case and no arrests have been made.

The incident happened about 7:30 a.m. Friday in front of the New Beginnings Daycare on Memphis Avenue in the city’s Brilliant Beginnings Child Care Center.

The 25-year-old woman told police that her ex-boyfriend was waiting for her when she got off an RTA bus at Pearl Road and Memphis. She told the man that didn’t want to talk to him and he grabbed her, police reports say.

He pulled out a gun, threatened to kill her and pistol-whipped her in the face, according to police reports.

He tried to drag her behind a nearby home and threatened to kill “blow her head off,” according to police reports. The woman broke free and ran to the nearby day care center where she screamed for help, according to police.

A daycare employee opened the door to help the woman as the man approached from behind, police reports say.

The man pointed the gun at the woman and pulled the trigger, but the gun jammed, according to police reports. The man tried to fix his gun as the daycare worker begged the man not to shoot the woman.

She told the man several children were inside the daycare, according to police reports. He turned around and walked away, police reports say.

The 25-year-old woman was treated at the scene and released with a cut lip, police reports say. The man later called the woman and the daycare center and apologized, police reports say.

He was charged in two recent cases against the woman, a domestic violence charge on Dec. 5 and a felony stalking charge on Nov. 30, according to court records.
