Posted — UpdatedAlexus Kiera Thomas of Durham, 22, was driving a gray Lexus headed east on the highway towards Six Forks Road when, her passenger told dispatchers, "This guy ... he started going crazy."
The passenger, a friend of Thomas, said the other driver was a complete stranger. Neither of the young women had ever seen him before.
"He was in a BMW, he had a gun and he shot at us," the woman told the dispatcher, all the while begging Thomas to stay awake and waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
Thomas' mother said Monday that after a weekend being treated at WakeMed, her daughter was getting better and stronger every day.
On Monday afternoon, police said the alleged shooter was a man driving a silver BMW SUV with a female passenger. They did not have a license plate number or more detailed information about the people involved.
