Christiano's 25-year-old son was also in the car, he said he also signaled to the driver of the Mustang to go around them.

"When he got in the left back lane of my vehicle that's when he started shooting," said Christiano.

DeKalb County Police said the man in the newer model black Mustang shot several rounds at the Corvette as he exited off onto Mountain Industrial Boulevard. One of those bullets hit Christiano in the area of her upper back/lower neck. DeKalb County Police said they are making progress in the case.
