SOUTH BEND — A pregnant woman was shot three times Tuesday afternoon in an apartment complex at Monroe and Taylor streets.

Police say the woman's boyfriend apparently shot her by accident. Police say the couple may have been playing with the 9 millimeter gun when it went off. He ran from the apartment through a back door, and police have not been able to find him.

Friends rushed the woman to Memorial Hospital where she is listed in serious condition. The woman and her unborn baby are expected to be fine, police said.

Four or five small children and several adults were in the apartment at the time of the shooting, about 4:15 p.m., investigators said.

The apartment is across Taylor from Coveleski Regional Stadium.
