Imagine lying down in your own house, and getting struck by a bullet coming in from the outside.

That's exactly what happned to a 42 year old man in the 1300 block of Newton Street in Akron's Goodyear Heights neighborhood, Thursday night at about 7:30 PM.

Police say the man, who was shot in the shoulder, is now in stable condition at Summa Health Akron City Hospital, and that even though there were other people in the house at the time; none of them were injured.

Now, police are asking for tips to help them solve the crime, because the only evidence left at the scene was shell casings in a nearby church parking lot.
