Officers were in the area and heard approximately 20 shots being fired before the 911 call.
Officers were able to locate the victim within seconds. Upon arrival, they found a 75-year-old female who had been shot while she was in the bedroom of her residence. The victim was transported to an area hospital, where she is listed as stable with non-life-threatening injuries.
