Tacoma Police say four teenagers were struck by gunfire while in a car on Saturday.
According to Tacoma police, the flurry of bullets ended with four teenagers being injured – Shadra’s daughter got the worst of it taking gunshots to both her neck, and her shoulders. "She feels like she’d rather be dead," said the mother. "She’s in so much pain they have to heavily medicate her. She’s not understanding why she got shot. She doesn’t run the streets. She stays home!"Shortly after the initial call around 5:30 p.m. they noted that five teens had driven to Saint Joseph’s hospital after they had been shot at by another car. Four of the teens – a 15-year-old woman, a 16-year-old woman and two 17-year-olds – had been hit.
She raised concerns about the speed at which information has come out – and questioned by police hadn’t been working to put out security footage that a store clerk had showed her.
