DETROIT – A family in Detroit experienced a Mother's Day tragedy on the city's east side when a 24-year-old woman was ambushed after she got out of her car.

ORIGINAL STORY: Woman fatally shot in the head at Detroit home overnight

According to authorities, it happened early Sunday morning at a home near the intersection of Van Dyke and Mack avenues. 

Police say a woman pulled her car up to a home and after she got out, another car drove up and opened fire. Neighbors are shocked at the deadly violence that occurred.

"We were terrified," said Marnisha Lewis. "[Police officers] asked us if we had anything on our camera, but we didn't have anything."
