Police investigating shooting of South Side woman at her home

YOUNGSTOWN — A 36-year-old East Chalmers Avenue woman told police she was shot in the left shoulder at home around 2:15 a.m. today but was unable to say who did it.

Carlissa Douglas told officers that she heard a knock at her rear door and, thinking it was her boyfriend, opened it. She recalled seeing a woman and a man before being shot. Douglas somehow ended up on a porch on East Marion Avenue, where police found her. Her condition at St. Elizabeth Health Center was not immediately available.

At her residence on Chalmers, police found blood on the kitchen floor, living room floor, stairs and second-floor landing. The case was turned over to detectives.
