The chilling incident unfolded around 1 a.m. on Winchester Road, where a suspect in a white Nissan Altima felt the urge to take some very extreme action.
According to reports from the Memphis Police Department, the situation escalated quickly as the suspect pulled up in front of a victim in their vehicle. Without any warning, shots were fired.
