North Ridgeville police are investigating a shooting that took place Thursday afternoon.

According to authorities, a 54-year-old woman from Avon was on break from her temporary job at Invacare Corp. on Taylor Industrial Parkway. She was in her car parked at the end of Bender Road when an unknown white male described as being in his 20s approached and shot her several times after a brief conversation. The incident occurred around 12:15 p.m.

Police later learned the woman was drifting in and out of consciousness after her car rolled into a snow drift. She was taken to University Hospitals Elyria Medical Center before being air-lifted to Cleveland MetroHealth Medical Center. Her exact condition is unknown at this time.

The suspect apparently fled the scene in a maroon SUV going west on Taylor. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the North Ridgeville Police Department at (440) 327-2191.
