KENTWOOD, MI -- A 26-year-old woman is expected to recover after her 3-year-old child accidentally discharged a gun, striking her in the head.

The shooting happened at a home in the 5700 block of East Grove Drive SE in Kentwood, near 60th Street and East Paris Avenue.

Police and rescuers were called to the home about 2:40 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20.

Few details were immediately available, but ambulance workers reported the woman was shot in the back of the head.

She was conscious and talking with rescuers. She was transported to Spectrum Health Butterworth hospital.

Kentwood police officers and a Kent County sheriff's deputy evidence technician were at the home Saturday afternoon.

They seemed to be focusing attention on the garage area of the home as they collected evidence.

Police also searched in a side yard.

Kentwood police Sgt. Stephanie Morningstar could not provide other details at the scene Saturday.
