Police later identified the bullet as coming from a .45-caliber gun.
The mother told police she has no enemies and does not know who would have fired a bullet into the house.
Child abuse report
Police also are investigating a report that the 2-year-old granddaughter of a township woman has been repeatedly physically abused by her stepfather. The grandmother told police Saturday that the stepfather, who lives in Warren, had a small imitation remote control that gave the girl an electric shock when she pushed a button. The grandmother took the remote control and gave it to police.
A neighbor of the grandmother also told police he watched the stepfather slam the girl's head into a wall on July 13. The abuse occurred when the girl and stepfather were visiting the neighbor's township home, reports state. The neighbor also told police the stepfather put his knee into the girl's back and pushed her head into a corner of a porch.
Fondling reported
Also under investigation is a report that an unknown man inappropriately fondled a woman Friday night at Kirk and South Raccoon roads. The woman, of Youngstown, told police she was waiting at the corner for her boyfriend to pick her up about 10:15 p.m. when a man grabbed her from behind and fondled her. Reports state that as the woman struggled, another man who was driving in the area stopped his car and yelled. The attacker then ran off, reports state.
The woman described her attacker as black and in his 30s, and about 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 170 pounds. He has a scar on the left side of his face and his left ear is pierced, reports state.
