A Tennessee woman allegedly stole a car from multiple people, including one in which she shot a victim and used her 5-year-old son as a shield, according to police.
Bethany Wilson, 24, committed three carjackings over the course of a few hours Thursday before crashing one of the stolen vehicles on an interstate highway. She was taken into police custody that same night.
According to the Clarksville Police Department, Wilson first stole a Nissan Juke from a 51-year-old woman who was pumping gas around 4:42 p.m. Thursday. Wilson approached the victim who was filling up her car and pointed a gun at her before driving away.
Approximately 30 minutes later, officers responded to a call of gunshots at an intersection and arrived to find a man claiming his Mercedes-Benz had been taken by a white woman. The victim said the woman fired and used her 5-year-old son as a shield.
