LEBANON, Pa.

A 61-year-old woman is out of the hospital after suffering minor injuries from a shotgun blast fired through a window at a central Pennsylvania nursing home.

The ManorCare Nursing and Rehab Center in North Cornwall Township says it has stepped up security, and the investigation is continuing.

Police say the shot came from a large field behind the building around 11:15 p.m. Thursday.

Police say they don’t have a suspect or a motive.

Officials say the injured woman was taken to a hospital and treated for head injuries.

She has been released but is not back at the nursing home.

Two other residents were in the room with the woman at the time of the shooting, but they were not hurt.
