Police: Overnight shooting at North Side home may be drug-related
Officers who were answering a 911 call found the victim, a 44-year-old woman, inside her home in the 3300 block of Jenkins Drive.
She was shot once in her belly and once in her leg.
The woman was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Police, meanwhile, spoke with several people who were there at the time of the shooting.
A preliminary report said neither of the two witnesses nor the wounded woman would offer much information about what happened.
Police said there were also some children inside the home, but they were not hurt.
As the investigation continued, detectives focused on two of the witnesses in particular.

Both he and a woman were arrested at the scene on drug-related charges.
Police said they believe drugs also were at the center of the shooting.
