CLINTON TOWNSHIP (WWJ) - Clinton Township police are searching for a gunman who shot a pregnant woman in the stomach outside of her apartment complex.
The shooting happened at around 6:15 a.m. Thursday at the Eastwood Village Apartments off Union Lake Road, near 16 Mile Road and Harper Avenue.
According to Clinton Township police, the 31-year-old woman was walking to her car to go to work when she was shot in the abdomen by a man she says she did not recognize.
She was taken to a nearby hospital where her baby was delivered by C-section.
Police Captain Richard Maerle told WWJ's Sandra McNeill that the mother remained in stable condition Thursday afternoon, and that the baby is doing fine.
The gunman fled the scene in a vehicle and remains at large. He was described only as a skinny black man in his 20s.
Maerle said a motive for the shooting is unknown at this time.
"I don't know what it was; there was no indication," said Maerle. "We just talked to the woman briefly. She said the guy just pulled out a gun and she said 'Don't shoot me,'...She was in surgery, so my detectives have not been able to talk to her yet."
The incident remains under investigation.
