Douglasville, GA – A woman survived a shooting allegedly committed by her ex-boyfriend on November 2. Shamay Pitt, 23, met with Joshua Woodruff, 25, and their conversation turned violent when he allegedly opened fire.

Pitt shared her experience with local CBS affiliate WSB to warn others in dangerous relationships. She described realizing she was being shot as the gunfire rang out, stating, “My ears are ringing, but I come into realization that he is shooting at me.”

Woodruff allegedly continued to drive Pitt for hours after the shooting, while she bled in the passenger seat. She recalled, “I seen the inside of me on the outside” as she begged him to stop so she could receive help.

Eventually, he brought her to WellStar Douglas Hospital in Douglasville. Paramedics then transported her to Kennestone Hospital for surgery.

After the incident, Woodruff was detained by hospital security and taken into custody by the Douglasville Police Department. He initially faced charges for obstruction but those were later enhanced to false imprisonment and aggravated assault.

Woodruff remains in custody at the Douglas County Jail with a bond set at $10,000. A bond hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.

Pitt continues to recover from her injuries. Her family has set up a GoFundMe to assist with her medical expenses. She urged others to recognize the signs of toxic relationships, stating, “If you see that red flag, run away.”
