The shooting happened about 2:15 a.m. at Delux Inn & Suites on Crestwood Boulevard. The woman's toddler son was in the room at the time of the shooting but was not injured.

Birmingham police Sgt. Rebecca Herrera said the woman was in the motel room when she thought she heard a noise. She grabbed her gun that was under her pillow, and somehow shot herself in the chest.

The woman was taken to UAB Hospital. Her injuries could be life-threatening, but Herrera said the woman was in stable condition as of 3:15 a.m. Another woman who was in the room was released from the scene.

The baby's father came to pick him up and took him to the hospital.
