CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A pregnant woman was shot in the back of her head late Tuesday during an argument in the city's Glenville neighborhood.

The 23-year-old woman, who is 31 weeks pregnant, was taken to University Hospitals after the shooting, police said. She was taken into the intensive care unit where her condition is unknown. Police reports say she went to the hospital in "unstable condition."

The reports noted that it was unclear if doctors would have to perform a C-section for the baby and that it may take one or two days to determine their condition.

The shooting happened about 8:15 p.m. in the 700 block of East 101st Street.

The woman and a man, later identified by police as a 26-year-old man got into an argument. A witness later reported to police about hearing a "pop." The witness saw the woman fall to the ground and the man ran north on East 101st.

The woman's sister initially thought the woman was going into labor, police said. She later called police that someone shot her sister.

The 26-year-old man has been identified by police as the suspect, but he has not been arrested and no formal charges have been filed.
