Authorities are investigating after police said a woman shot a man while he was in the back of a police SUV Tuesday afternoon in Gaston County, NC.
According to Cramerton police, officers responded around 12:15 p.m. to a call about a man who was armed with a gun outside of an apartment complex. They believe the gun was being used during a domestic situation between him and another man, WSOC reports.
When officers got there, they said they didn’t find a gun, but they put the man in the back of a patrol vehicle with the window partially rolled down.
That’s when police said 32-year-old Ashley Marie Forney walked out from between two apartments, went over to the police SUV, and shot the man in the chest and hand. Police said the man was rushed to a hospital for surgery and is in stable condition.
The responding officers were all near the patrol vehicle when the shooting happened but said they were unable to stop Forney in time. She complied with their orders to drop the gun and was taken into custody, according to police.
The Colorado State Patrol, after analyzing its 2025 struck-by incidents, identified one area for improvement: using traffic cones to provide advanced warning before the cruiser's location. Here is the agency’s final data.
