A 31-year-old Columbus man who the shotgun belonged to and a 22-year-old Cleveland Heights man who told police he pulled the trigger were both arrested on suspicion of felonious assault.
Formal charges have not been filed, and the court was closed Friday.
The 31-year-old man who had driven to the home from Columbus with a 12-gauge shotgun in his trunk didn't want to take the gun to the bar, so he left it inside the home.
Reports say the Columbus man showed the woman's boyfriend the gun earlier in the day, when it was unloaded. At some point the Columbus man loaded the gun.
The group returned to the home and at about 12:20 a.m., the 22-year-old man picked up the shotgun in the living room and was looking at it. Reports say he pointed the gun at the woman and fired a shot less than five feet away from the woman.
The blast struck her in the stomach and chest, and buckshot struck her in the right bicep area, severely damaging the arm.
When officers arrived at the home, they found the woman's boyfriend giving her CPR and applying pressure to the gunshot wound.
The Cleveland Heights man told police he shot the woman but that it was an accident.
Reports say officers collected evidence, including the gun, bloody clothes and a alcohol bottle found on the dining room table.

But everyone put on the beer goggles and managed to violate all four safety rules.
Not uncommon behavior for lawful gun owners.
DeleteProve it, Mikeb. Prove it.
DeleteYou read my blog every day, Greg. Yet you ask for proof?
DeleteYou keep forgetting how many gun owners there are in this country. That's at least a third of all Americans, some 100,000,000 of us. So yes, these actions are uncommon.
DeleteWhat you call uncommon is a disgrace because the numbers could easily be cut way down and with little inconvenience to you. But, loyal to your sick cause, you won't hear of it.
DeleteMikeb, why do you keep repeating that "little inconvenience" line? Are tribunals, inspections, exams, exams, and exams, repeated fees, limits on what's permitted, discretion in who may own or carry, punishments for minor infractions, and on and on little in your mind?
DeleteA third is FAR from a majority. Which means laws against you killer gun sucks will pass soon.
DeleteHe picks up the gun, points it at her and fires. That's an accident? Only in the mind of people like Greg.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, if you're going to make wild accusations like that, how about you grow some honor and support your statements with facts. Otherwise, feel free to remain the lying and snivelling coward that you are.
DeleteGreg, you do come to the defense to just about every idiot I post about.
DeleteAs soon as you dump being a lying, criminal, coward and explain why you break the law and promote breaking the law. But you refuse to do that. Typical for a lying, criminal, coward.
DeleteMikeb, I comment one some of these accident articles. Mostly, I'm pointing out your vindictiveness and excesses.
DeleteAnonymous, feel free to offer proof. Not claims, proof.
I already did multiple times. That's one reason you are such a liar. Proof given, point won, delusional jack ass refused to explain after asked many times. You lost ass hole, live with it. These follow up lies of yours only prove me correct every time you open your lying criminal mouth.
DeleteLiar Greg said,
Delete"if you're going to make wild accusations"
"Reports say he pointed the gun at the woman and fired a shot less than five feet away from the woman."
Greg lies even when the facts are printed in the story. There's my proof Greg, now what lie will you follow up with? Come on coward lying criminal.
Finally Anonymous gives us something specific. "Only in the minds of people like Greg." That's the wild accusation. I'm not talking about the man in this story. You said that someone like me would regard this in a particular way. But I didn't say anything about the events described here. You accused me of having an opinion that I did not express.
DeleteAs stated, I already have and your twisted cowardly attempts to change the subject, just makes you look like the cowardly liar you are, and prove me correct. Thanks for that.
DeleteI made no wild accusations, I only repeated what was reported. I'll repeat what was said since you cannot read:

No wild accusations, just repeating what was reported. Next lie.
Anonymous, since there are so many of you, it's hard to tell at whom you are directing your comments, but look at the quoted passages:
Delete"Only in the mind of people like Greg."
That implies that I would call the incident in question an accident. That's a wild accusation, since, in fact, on that very article, I did not call that an accident.
As usual no response.
DeleteThere is no response for those caught in another lie.
The liar comes back lying again.
DeleteQuoting the report is not a "wild accusation" as you claim I made.
Next lie.
Anonymous, the wild accustion was saying "only in the mind of people like Greg." I don't think that way, so that was a false statement. You're the one caught here.
DeleteAs usual you lie.
DeleteAll I did was repeat what the report said and you called that a wild accusation.
Next lie.
