An Ogden woman died Monday after being wounded by gunfire from outside her home as she slept this weekend.

She was pronounced dead Monday, according to a news release on the Police Department’s Facebook page. Three people were in custody Monday night in relation to the shooting, the release said.

Scott said officers responded to 911 calls reporting multiple gunshots outside the home near 28th Street and Grant Avenue at 12:11 a.m. Sunday. Officers discovered several bullet holes in the residence.

Another resident was treated at the scene for a minor shooting-related injury.
