Ashley Venneste was driving on Ray Road when she saw a pickup truck pulled off to the side and a car in the ditch. She pulled over to see what she could do to help and nearly paid for it with her life.
“I opened up my car door. I didn’t see anybody and then out of nowhere, this guy came up to me and just put a gun to my head,” Venneste said. “He slammed my head against the van with the gun and I locked eyes with him. And he looked at the gun and I stepped back and told the car in front of me to call the cops and (he) just started shooting — he shot like three rounds.”
“All I heard was screaming and shooting,” Venneste said. “And that point, I ran out into the middle of the road and that car that was stopped, come to find out it was one of my best friends’ daughters. I don’t know what would’ve happened if he came up on her instead of me.”
