A 24-year-old Springfield woman who police said apparently fired a gun inside an apartment on the city’s west side with a toddler present was arrested Friday night.

No one was hurt by the shot fired in the incident, which took place after police were called to a “domestic disturbance” at 4:35 p.m. Friday in the 3000 block of Seven Pines Road in the Cedar Point Apartments, Springfield police Lt. Chris Russell said Saturday.

Samantha Flores, who lived in the apartment, was arrested and was being held without bond Saturday at the Sangamon County Jail, pending a hearing Sunday.

Flores was booked into the jail on preliminary charges of reckless discharge of a firearm, a felony, and domestic battery, a misdemeanor.

After arriving at the two-story apartment that Flores shared with a 32-year-old man whose name wasn’t released, police determined that the two had been arguing, and Flores spoke with police through a door of the apartment, Russell said.

The man, who was in a “dating relationship” with Flores, was in a nearby parking lot with a toddler by the time police arrived, Russell said. The man complained that Flores had bitten him several times and had sprayed him with a fire extinguisher.

Police didn’t say where the man had been bitten, but they observed bite marks, Russell said.

A short time later, police heard a single gunshot from inside the apartment, Russell said. Police then forced open the door and arrested Flores, who was accompanied by another toddler, a girl.

Flores apparently had fired a semi-automatic gun into a wall-mounted, flat-screen television on the apartment’s second floor, Russell said.

The bullet went through the screen, the wall behind it and the second-floor ceiling, and into an attic, he said. The man claimed that the gun belonged to him, Russell said.

Flores refused to speak with police, Russell said.

The children, whose relationship to the adults was unavailable, were released to relatives, he said.

The man didn’t seek medical attention, Russell said.
