Her boyfriend was also shot outside the car. Kay Wright and her boyfriend were about to head out to do some Door Dash deliveries before the lunch hour Monday at 10:40 a.m. Their car needs coolant so her boyfriend was under the hood filling it as she got her children ages one and four in the car and sat down in the passenger seat. Armed security guards heading to KC's Country Club Plaza via new owners 'As soon as I turned around, boom! They shot a bullet in back and went over my daughter's head and hit me in the mouth right here. And then the bullets just kept flying,' Wright said. Doorbell camera video shared with FOX4 captured one shot, followed by a short pause and thenthen at least two more shots. Wright's boyfriend was shot in the arm and foot. He jumped in the driver seat and they rushed to Research Medical Center with the hood still up on the car. 'As soon as we got to the door I started screaming I'm shot, my boyfriend is shot, my kids are in the car,' Wright said. Wright says police were given that video and told where to find the shooters. She said she's never spoken to the people she believes targeted them. 'They almost took our life for no reason,' she said. Now out of intensive care and with her boyfriend recovering well, the 28-year-old mother is thankful the bullets missed her children. Kansas City drivers dodge objects tossed out of moving car on highway 'I'm so happy that they are alive because nobody should have to go through nothing like that, especially when you don't do nothing to nobody,' Wright said. The couple has five children altogether. But once she leaves the hospital, she says she's not sure where she'll go this Mother's Day weekend because she doesn't feel safe returning to the apartment with no arrests made. 'We aren't going to have no place to go, nobody is trying to help us. Nobody is trying to help us see justice,' Wright said. Kansas City Police say the investigation is ongoing.
