A 49-year-old woman called the police saying she was shot. Dispatchers talked the woman through administering her own first aid until help arrived.
It kept the woman alive long enough to get to the hospital where she is still fighting for her life.
The shooter is on the run.
“I’m feeling very worried because, I mean, you know, I’ve got kids. That could’ve been one of my kids,” Vasquez said.
The shooting outside of Vasquez' front door is just the latest in a series of violent crimes, all in the same area of Fredericksburg.
Police and fire set up a mobile command unit at a nearby apartment complex after a 38-year-old man was shot and killed there June 26.
