Doctors are working to see if a 17-year-old girl could have permanent injuries after she was shot in the mouth. The shooting happened about 10:45 p.m. Thursday night in the 1700 block of Banker Street at the Desoto Bass Housing complex. Dayton police say it looks like the gunfire happened while the girl played a game of Russian Roulette with an 18-year-old man. Officers say the game usually involves leaving just one bullet in a gun and then taking turns pulling the trigger. Police said they found 5 bullets from what they believe to be a .357 Magnum handgun near where the shooting occurred. However, in this case, police say something was out of the ordinary in the way the teens played. Dayton police Lt. John Bardun said, "The male put the gun to the female's mouth and pulled the trigger more than once, the gun discharged into her mouth, taking out a number of teeth". Investigators said that's not the only thing that doesn't make much sense. They said they discovered a blood trail going upstairs inside the apartment and believe no one called for help right away for the 17-year-old victim. Bardun said, "As far as we can tell the shooting happened in the living room but the suspect took the female upstairs to tell her he loved her and asked her not to prosecute for some reason". The girl would eventually go outside and to another apartment looking for help. Paramedics took her to Miami Valley Hospital. Police say doctors are checking to see if any bullet fragments lodged in the victim's brain or spinal cord. Officers think the 18-year-old man walked to his mother's home a short distance away after the shooting. He left there and police said they caught up to him and took him into custody about 30 minutes after the shooting. Police said they are not sure if the 17-year-old girl has parents in the area. They did say she is the mother of a 3-year-old child. Investigators would not say if the child was in the apartment during the shooting but did say there were at least two other people inside the apartment at the time, at least one of them an adult. They are interviewing those witnesses. Dayton police said the 18-year-old teen they arrested did have tattoos that could be considered gang-related. However, this shooting is not considered gang related. Bardun said, "No, as far as we know, people playing Russian Roulette and being stupid". source: whiotv News
