Police have identified the mom shot while driving in Chattanooga the day after Thanksgiving.
Authorities say 20-year-old Entwadina Phillips had a child in the car with her when she was shot in the face in the 2500 block of O’Rear Street just after 9 p.m. Friday.
She lost control of the vehicle, crashed, and was taken to a local hospital in critical condition.
The child got into an ambulance but did not appear to be wounded. The child was taken to the hospital as a precaution for observation only, according to the police department.
Police were using flashlights searching the ground on the yard near where they had taped off the intersection. One neighbor heard eight or nine gunshots.
