DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — Home security video captured the terrifying moments a woman was shot while driving and then crashed through a fence in DeKalb County.
A neighbor told Channel 2’s Michael Seiden that he believes the gunman opened fire while the woman was stopped up the street.
Right now, police aren’t confirming that detail, citing the ongoing investigation.
Channel 2 Action News was first to bring you this story on Tuesday evening on WSB Tonight at 11 p.m.
Investigators say the woman was behind the wheel of her Dodge Durango and was shot multiple times along Panthersville Road before she lost control and crashed through a homeowner’s fence around 6:15 p.m.

A witness at the scene snapped a photo just moments after paramedics rushed the woman to the hospital.
She had been shot several times and, as of Wednesday afternoon, remained in critical condition.
“I’m shocked, and I just pray that the young lady is OK and that she survives,” said Devika Washington-Hall, music director at Love Life Christian Fellowship Church.
After seeing the video, she checked her church’s security cameras, but unfortunately, didn’t find any footage that could help police identify the shooter.
“I think there are some kids who live across the street, I’m not sure. So, it’s dangerous. Bullets can go in any direction,” Washington-Hall said.
On Tuesday, Channel 2 Action News was there as a tow truck hauled away the victim’s SUV.
Right now, investigators still aren’t saying why this happened or who they’re looking for.
