CRAMERTON, N.C. — A woman shot and wounded a man while he was sitting in the back seat of a police cruiser in Cramerton, authorities said.
The man was hospitalized but didn’t suffer life-threatening wounds, officials reported.
Gaston County Police Chief Joseph Ramey said Cramerton police were called to an apartment complex around 12:15 p.m. regarding a domestic argument involving two men and a gun.
Cramerton Police Chief Brad Adams said officers detained one of the men in the back seat, although he wasn’t in custody for a crime.
Adams said a woman, identified as Ashley Forney, later stuck a gun through the back seat window and shot the man in the hand and chest.
Ramey said authorities weren’t sure whether the man and woman knew each other.
Forney has been charged with Attempted First Degree Murder and Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Intent to Kill Inflicting Serious Injury, according to The Gaston County Police Department.
Police said the investigation was ongoing.
