CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio - A Cuyahoga Falls police officer shot a man who is accused of pointing a gun at officers during an investigation into a domestic violence incident, police said.

Robert Horn-Epling, 39, suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the shooting that happened just after 7:15 a.m. on Cook Street near Tallmadge Road, police said in a news release.

Horn-Epling is charged with aggravated menacing and domestic violence in the incident, police said.

Investigators have not released the name of the officer who shot Horn-Epling.

Officers were investigating a report of domestic violence when they arrived at the house and met an injured woman, police said. They also removed a child from the house, police said.

An update on the woman's condition was not immediately available.

The officers found and confronted Horn-Epling, who was holding a gun, police said. Horn-Epling refused to put the gun down and pointed it at the officers, police said.

One officer fired a shot that struck Horn-Epling, police said. Cuyahoga Falls police Lt. Michael Heinl could not say where on Horn-Epling's body he was shot.

Cuyahoga Falls Fire Department paramedics took Horn-Epling to a hospital for treatment.

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is assisting in the investigation, police said.

Heinl could not say if the officer involved in the shooting has been placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure for many Northeast Ohio police departments during officer-involved shooting investigations.
