The security video reportedly shows the woman with the gun inside a car, and it captures the moment the gun is fired out the window. Shockingly, the footage also shows a teenager from the other group firing back with a gun. This disregard for the safety of others in the crowded parking lot is deeply concerning.
Further details reveal that the woman had argued with an employee at a nearby store earlier that day, even displaying a gun to them. The 10-year-old victim was simply a bystander in the back seat of his family's car when he was caught in the crossfire. His mother reported they were merely watching the initial argument unfold before the shooting erupted.
This senseless act of violence has left a child injured and a community shaken. The Lakewood Police Department urges anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.
