She told police that her boyfriend secretly slept over at her parents’ house overnight and her mom discovered the couple together in bed Friday morning, WMC reported. The girl said her mom was angry and told her that the 18-year-old boy had to leave.
WMC reported that he obeyed her mother’s request and called out to his 16-year-old friend.
The 18-year-old allegedly told his friend, who was hiding in the attic, to come out “because they were caught.”
However, while this was happening, the teen girl said her mom was still shouting at her boyfriend outside. She said her boyfriend became angry, drew a gun, and stormed back into the house toward her mother.
Police said the mother ran upstairs just as the armed 18-year-old fired a single shot at her.
The girl told police her sister screamed, “Don’t shoot my mom!”
That’s when their mother’s boyfriend emerged from a bedroom with a gun and shot at the 18-year-old, striking him in the arm and back.
During the gunfire, one of the two sisters, unspecified by police, was shot in her side and the 16-year-old friend who was previously hidden in the attic was also shot twice in his leg.
The mother’s boyfriend fled before officers arrived.

A 15-year-old girl, 16-year-old boy and an 18-year-old young man were shot just after 6 a.m. Friday in the Chimneyrock area of Cordova, according to Memphis police. At last check, all are still in the hospital.
Action News Five spoke with a neighbor who did not want to be identified but said that two kids ran to her home early Friday morning. She believes they were looking for help before they left.
She said the next thing she knew, multiple police cars showed up outside a neighboring home near 8500 Chimneyrock Boulevard, and crime scene tape was up.
Many neighbors urged how important summer camps and activities will be for kids this summer.
