Number Fifty-Nine Leaves Victim Critical

10 TV: An apartment manager was in critical condition Friday after she was shot while trying to chase down a group of men who tried to break into an apartment, police said. The shooting occurred at about noon near the Dayspring Church, located near Shannon and Gender roads...The incident started at The Cove apartment complex, located about half-mile away.

According to police, someone told the apartment manager that three men were trying to break into one of the apartment units. The manager got inside her car and followed the men in hopes of writing down their vehicle's license plate number… The men fled the apartment, crashing into a garage along the way. As both the vehicles traveled down Shannon Road past Dayspring Church, gunfire rang out. A witness, who asked not to be identified, said she and her daughter hit the ground after hearing two gunshots.

The wounded woman got out of her car and a passerby drove her to a nearby fire station. She was then transported to Grant Medical Center… Police said they were searching for a mid-1980s red Ford Explorer in connection with the shooting. Investigators said the vehicle should have damage to the front driver's side from where it struck the garage door.
