MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - It was a close call for a man and his adult granddaughter, caught in the crossfire of a drive-by shooting near Memphis International Airport.

The man was driving in the area of East Shelby Drive and Boeingshire around 4:15pm on January 24, 2012 when several bullets hit his car. One went through the headrest of the passenger seat just as his 21-year-old granddaughter bent over to pick up the cell phone she had dropped.

Memphis Police are still piecing the incident together, but investigators believe shots were exchanged between unknown suspects in two other vehicles.

Anyone with information on this drive-by-shooting is urged to call Memphis CrimeStoppers at (901) 528-CASH (2274).

Hamilton Co 31, I was thinking the exact same thing, but instead of posting idiotic, racist comments--I would enroll myself in the nearest English Composition class. Jamal, you may want to begin at the Pre-K level and work your way up.

@ Hamilton, Jamal is saying that this is just typical behavior for Memphis' black youths, but in a very racist and condescending way. cindy07 is saying that she thinks that all the goods accidents in life are proof of Gods direct interaction. Not sure who gets credit for the bad accicents though. . .

I believe tha God was there to remove this family from harm, and save them for a greater reason. Thank God, the innocent were not harmed.
