A young woman is in critical condition after shots were fired in the parking lot of the 1540 Place Apartments on Saturday around 10:30 p.m.
The victim was shot multiple times in the backseat of a car as she and her friends were leaving the party, according to the Murfreesboro Police Department.
She was taken to a nearby gas station to avoid the threat, where medics responded and transported her to the hospital.

Police are still trying to identify the shooter.
