Scary Night at Memphis Gas Station: Driver Escapes Gunfire

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – It was a typical Sunday night for a local driver, but things took a wild turn when his trip to the gas station turned into a frightening encounter with gunfire. The man, who chose to remain anonymous, found himself caught in the crossfire at a Fill N Go gas station on South Third Street while filling up his pickup truck.

“I was in the middle of a war. I was like, wow,” he shared, obviously shaken by the unexpected chaos. He was at pump number two when the situation escalated rapidly. “I ducked, and then I heard a ping. I just put my car in drive and drove with my head down,” he recounted.

Shots Fired – A Desperate Escape

According to witnesses, this wasn’t just a minor incident. The sound of gunshots echoed around the gas station, causing clerks to hit the alarm, signaling a serious emergency. They told police that while they rushed to secure the store, they didn’t actually see the shooters or their getaway vehicle.

However, our anonymous driver had a front-row seat to the pandemonium that unfolded. Before he even knew it, he saw a man dash from the gas station and hop into a dark-colored vehicle. That’s when chaos erupted, and gunfire rang out once more.

“There was another guy who came behind the gas station and was shooting at them,” the driver explained, still in disbelief. “They shot my car.” He pointed out that he was incredibly lucky to walk away mostly unscathed, despite the bullet hole that now marks his truck’s driver’s side door.

Miraculous Escape

What’s shocking is that the bullet that could have caused serious injury missed him by mere inches. “I was ducking down, and a bullet was right by my head, but it didn’t go through,” he said. “I was blessed, not lucky.” Definitely a harrowing experience!

Fortunately, police reported that nobody was hurt in this incident, but they are still piecing together what exactly led to this alarming scene. Stray bullets hit not only the victim’s pickup truck but also a nearby Dodge Charger and even the gas station’s front windows! It’s a miracle that nobody was injured amidst all this madness.

Help Needed: Witnesses Please Step Forward

For now, local authorities are appealing to the public for any information that could help bring those responsible to justice. If you happened to see anything unusual that night or might know something relevant, they encourage you to reach out to CrimeStoppers at (901) 528-CASH.

This incident serves as a sobering reminder that even the most ordinary days can turn dangerous in an instant. The driver’s experience is not just a tale of survival; it’s a glaring signal that we all need to remain aware of our surroundings, no matter where we are.

As investigations continue, the community is hopeful that information from the public will shed light on this outrageous incident. So, let’s keep an eye out for each other, Memphis! Everyone deserves to feel safe, even when they’re just stopping to get gas.
