Around 8:45 p.m., police say a man drove into the driveway of a residence on the 300 block of South Church Street and fatally shot a woman.

He crashed into two vehicles in the driveway before firing the single gunshot.

The woman’s mother and father, ages 69 and 83 respectively, were injured. Her mother was injured when the suspect rammed into the SUV and sedan in the driveway.
