The first caller told dispatchers that they saw a “chaotic driver” in the area.
“He’s driving like he don’t know how to drive stick, but like he’s pissed off,” they said.
That same 911 caller called again moments later to report hearing six gunshots and someone screaming.
“I heard car, and then I heard (expletive) bullets,” the caller told dispatchers.
They described it as the same car from earlier.
Another caller told dispatchers what happened.
“Some dude just ran up in a tent and shot her,” he said.
He told dispatchers the victim was shot in the chest and her injuries appear to be life-threatening.
The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office told our newsroom they did not respond to the scene.
We will update as we learn new information.
