A Georgia woman has remarkably survived a terrifying ordeal, allegedly orchestrated by her former boyfriend in a shocking act of domestic violence.

Shamay Pitt, 23, shared her chilling experience with local CBS affiliate WSB, aiming to alert others who might find themselves in perilous relationships. According to Pitt, the nightmare unfolded on November 2nd when she agreed to meet her ex-boyfriend, 25-year-old Joshua Woodruff. During their meeting, which took place in her car, the situation escalated violently when Woodruff allegedly produced a firearm and shot her multiple times.

“My ears are ringing, but I come into realization that he is shooting at me,” Pitt recounted to WSB, vividly recalling the moment the conversation turned deadly.

The ordeal, however, didn’t conclude there. Pitt described how Woodruff allegedly drove her from DeKalb County through several other counties in Georgia, prolonging the nightmare as she bled in the passenger seat of her vehicle. In a heart-wrenching moment, Pitt told WSB, “I saw the inside of me on the outside,” fearing she might not make it through the harrowing experience.

Woodruff allegedly continued to drive her from DeKalb County across several other counties in Georgia, traveling for hours while Pitt bled in the passenger seat of her own car. She told WSB, “I seen the inside of me on the outside” and feared that she would not survive.

As she begged Woodruff to stop so she could get help, she seemingly resigned herself to a possible fatal outcome. She told him, “Just lay me on the grass, so I can breathe. I don’t want to die in this car.”

Woodruff apparently relented once they arrived at a hospital in Douglas County. After he dropped Pitt off at WellStar Douglas Hospital in Douglasville, Georgia, she was transported by paramedics to Kennestone Hospital for surgery.

According to an arrest warrant reviewed by Law&Crime, Woodruff was detained by security guards at the Douglasville Hospital and taken into custody by a Douglasville Police Department officer. He was initially charged with obstruction or hindering law enforcement. Eventually, the charges were upgraded to false imprisonment and aggravated assault.

Woodruff is currently in custody at the Douglas County Jail, where he is being held on $10,000 bond. He was scheduled to appear in court for a bond hearing on Tuesday.

Pitt continues to recover from her gunshot wounds, and her family started a GoFundMe to help with her medical expenses. She told WSB, “If you see that red flag, run away.”
