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.
