At that point, my mom, she was like, you know, this hurts, something stings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">Investigators say 23-year-old Anthony Myles was shooting at his ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">Prosecutors showed the judge video of him chasing the couple on John Young Parkway. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">While dispatchers told the couple to head to the jail for safety, Bernice says she drove to another lot and called 911, after bullets hit her car. Her mother was hit in the shoulder. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">She explains what happened, \u201cIt just burns, and she went like this. I saw the bullet Hole on the seat, and I was I OMG Jesus, you know, you got hit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">According to court records, the ex-girlfriend just filed a dating violence complaint against Myles. He\u2019s currently charged with attempted second-degree murder with a gun. Bernice says, \u201cThere\u2019s consequences to every action. He took wrong actions, and he needs to pay the consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">It\u2019s not the first time Myles was arrested. Back in November of last year, he was accused of allegedly stalking the victim\u2019s boyfriend and pulled out a firearm stating, \u201cI will kill you right now.\u201d That\u2019s when the boyfriend got a bat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">But the victim told investigators, neither used a weapon in a \u201cthreatening manner towards each other.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">According to records, the case was dropped around 3 weeks before the jail shooting because of the victim\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">Prosecutors mentioned the case in court last week. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the worst parts it had actually just been dropped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\">Bernice wonders if it would have prevented the shooting. She says her son was also in the car and escaped injury. Despite the scare, she\u2019s keeping the faith, \u201cSo we are very blessed that God\u2019s hand was there and stopped that bullet from doing worse damage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 eJzHXc body-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wftv.com\/mobile-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wftv.com\/mobile-apps\">Click here<\/a> to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.
