The man shot at her and she ran to another nearby apartment. He chased after her. The people who live in that apartment ran out. They heard several gunshots.

"`Our patrol deputies were unable to make contact with the suspect or victim inside the apartment,` said sheriff’s office spokesman Chris Welborn. `Our SWAT and Hostage Negotiations Teams were then called out.`

"SWAT deputies made entry into the apartment around 11:00 a.m. They found 33-year-old Teva Bradley suffering from a gunshot wound to the head and the body of a 27-year-old woman.
