CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A sleeping 7-year-old boy was shot in the arm when a bullet struck a home in Cleveland's Union-Miles neighborhood.

The shot struck the boy's elbow about 1:30 a.m. while he slept on a couch early Tuesday in the living room of home on East 123rd Street near Harvard Avenue, according to a police report.

No arrests have been made.

The boy's mother was in the dining room when she heard a loud noise. She thought her son fell off the couch until she realized he was bleeding from his arm, the report says.

Cleveland EMS took the boy to Ahuja Hospital, where a X-ray revealed the bullet struck his elbow and did not exit his arm, the report says. He was transferred to Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital for additional treatment.
