   MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA) -   
   A Montgomery woman is recovering after a horrifying ordeal that   
   ended with her crashing on the side of the interstate with   
   gunshot wounds as she fled in fear from a gunman.   
      
   Alicia Martin was shot several times Monday and remains in the   
   hospital as police continue their investigation into the   
   incident.   
      
   Her son, Gavin Martin, says his mother makes deliveries to local   
   stores and when she gets done with work, she often drives around   
   different Montgomery neighborhoods to pray.   
      
   “My mother is a strong believer in God, and she usually rides   
   around bad neighborhoods to pray just in general,” he said.   
      
   On Monday afternoon, she decided to stop on Crescent Road in the   
   Ridgecrest neighborhood on the city’s west side. A stranger   
   walked up to her car and started talking to her.   
      
   As background, Gavin says his 16-year-old brother “got into it   
   with a few people." He believes the tension made his family   
   members targets.   
      
   When the man asked Alicia if she was the teen’s mother, she said   
   yes.   
      
   “Then this dude that's standing at her car just decides to start   
   shooting into her window at her,” Gavin said.   
      
   In the barrage of bullets, she put her arm up in a defensive   
   move to protect her head and face and tried to get her car   
   turned on to get away. She was struck in the forearm, shattering   
   the bones in her arm.   
      
   She pulled out of Crescent Road and made her way onto the nearby   
   ramp for the interstate. Her son says she was trying to get to   
   the hospital with her injured arm, but quickly realized she was   
   not out of harm’s way.   
      
   “These dudes who shot at my mother decided to hop in the car and   
   chase her down. She was already shot and it was raining during a   
   bad storm,” Gavin said. “Picture my mom running away from men   
   who she didn't even know who decided to shoot at her over the   
   spite of a young boy.”   
      
   He's is not sure how many people were in the car that was   
   following his mother, and endangering many other people on the   
   interstate.   
      
   Alicia’s back windshield was shot out and she was hit in the   
   thumb, shoulder and back in the chase, in addition to her   
   forearm wounds. Relatives say she was so scared, she ultimately   
   laid down to avoid being shot again, losing control of her car   
   on Interstate 85 North.   
      
   She struck two other cars and a guardrail before running off the   
   roadway. No other drivers were injured, and Alicia Martin was   
   rushed to the hospital.   
      
   The mother of three had surgery on her arm, and remains in a   
   great deal of pain from her injuries. She is worried about her   
   family’s safety, according to her children. They're outraged   
   someone came after her in such a vicious way, but they're   
   relieved she was able to escape with her life. They ask anyone   
   with information to come forward.   
      
   “Just the fact that these people wanted my mother dead, it's   
   horrible,” Gavin said. “It was heartbreaking to see my mother on   
   that table with all those tubes through her and to know that   
   somebody did that to her. You would never guess in a million   
   years that anything like this would ever happen to your mother.   
   It's hard for us and we just want the person to be locked up.”   
      
   Betty Brown owns the home on the corner of Crescent Road and   
   Edgemont Avenue. Her son and daughter-in-law live there, but   
   Brown has been visiting from Florida. She was upset when she   
   heard about the shooting involving Alicia Martin.   
      
   “I was here when they were doing all of that shooting the other   
   night. A few days before that, a house across the street got   
   shot, had the windows shot out,” she said. “They shoot like   
   crazy down Crescent and all around here. I'm concerned because   
   there's so much violence on this street and so much drugs down   
   in that area. I'm very worried.”   
      
   Gavin Brown says that’s why his mother went to that neighborhood   
   when she got finished with work on Monday.   
      
   “That's one of the reasons she was over here praying,” he said.   
   “She could have been killed.”   
      
   A spokesperson for the Montgomery Department of Public Safety   
   indicated that MPD’s investigation “is continuing.” No other   
   details have been released and no arrests have been made.
