NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Metro police said a woman was shot during a possible carjacking at an apartment complex in South Nashville.

It happened around 3 p.m. on Village Green Drive in Nashboro Village.

Police said two women drove up to the apartments. That's when two men came up to the car and demanded them to get out. The women refused, and that's when police said one of the men opened fire through an open window.

One of the women was hit in the chest and leg. She was taken to the hospital, and is expected to live. The two suspects ran off, and police are still searching for them.

Police are investigating and said the shooting could be gang-related.

"We have had some incidents of gang activity. I don't know if it's related to this or not, but we are pursuing that lead as well. We do have a gang detective here that's looking into it. As of right now, we don't know until we identify suspects or persons of interest," said Metro officer John Drake.
