Anna Scott, 36, was seen pulling up to her home in Decatur, Ga. late Saturday night while at least three burglars were trying to force their way in, according to police, who believe she raced home after seeing the break-in on her doorcam app.

As Scott pulled up in her Jeep, one of the men raised his gun and fired several shots, leaving the vehicle riddled with bullets as the burglars fled, the footage shared by Fox5 Atlanta showed.

Further doorbell camera footage from a neighbor’s house shows someone running out to help Scott as she lay in the street after the shooting.

Police found Scott with a single gunshot wound.
