Birmingham mom recovering after being shot 4 times; teen daughter in vehicle with her was uninjured

A Birmingham mother is recovering after she was four times on Saturday.

Amber Scott’s 15-year-old daughter was in the vehicle with her when the shooting happened, but the teen was not injured.

Scott, 33, had gone to check on a family member who was in a possible domestic argument. When she was leaving, shots rang out.

“I was driving, and they shot inside my car,’’ Scott said.

The shooting happened at 4:12 p.m. at 23rd Place S.W. and South Park Road, according to Birmingham police.

Scott said she didn’t even realize she was hit. Her daughter was the one to tell her.

“It happened so fast,” Scott said. “I started blowing my horn and drove to Piggly Wiggly in West End.

“I didn’t panic,’’ she said. “I have children I had to think about.”

Scott is the mother of four children, ages 15 and under.

She remains hospitalized with bullet holes in her back, arms and breast area. No formal charges have been announced.

Scott said she’s thankful to be alive and knows firsthand that it could have been worse. Her friend, Koreyanta “Koko” Davis was fatally shot in Midfield in September.
