DAYTON -- Dayton police officers and homicide detectives are on the scene of a shooting. It happened just after 9:15pm Thursday on Drake Avenue, which is off of Riverside Drive.
Police found one woman shot in the abdomen with what appears to be a rifle round. She is at Miami Valley Hospital in serious condition. There were other people in the home who told police a man knocked on the door and then tried to break into the house. When the woman went to confront him, there was an altercation and the woman ended up shot. The shooter then took off.
The witnesses inside the home say they did not recognize the shooter. Investigators say the home is not a known crime spot, so they're not sure why the shooter targeted this place.
