A woman was hospitalized early Monday morning with a gunshot wound to the face after someone in a passing car opened fire at her, police say.
According to the Fort Worth Police Department, officers responded to 820 North Beach Street, the 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station, shortly before 4 a.m.
When officers arrived, they located a woman suffering from a gunshot wound to the face, police said.
According to police, the incident began when the victim was traveling westbound in the 4000 block of King’s Oak Lane in her vehicle.

Police said the victim then went to the 7-Eleven to seek assistance.
