The shooting occurred about 4.30 a.m. Sunday at a Mobil gas station on the city's west side and was captured by Project Green Light, a partnership between Detroit police and local gas stations that sends high-definition surveillance footage straight to police headquarters. The footage shows the female suspect - the only woman in the group of men - get a gun from a blue Dodge Charger and hide it down her skirt (inset left). Seconds later, the woman approached the second car, a Grand Prix, and fired multiple times, striking the driver repeatedly (main). Miraculously, the shirtless man survived the attack, and the woman is now in custody.

That is when another man, who is with the people in the Grand Prix, pounces on the female suspect, tacking her to the ground.
After getting the gun off the woman, both cars fled the scene.
Because of Project Green Light, police were onto the shoot immediately.
Also, due to the clearness of the footage, they had a clear idenitifcation of the suspect.
'Huge success, exactly what we had hoped for,' Detroit Police Sgt. Michael Woody told Fox 2.
'We're going to see you, and we're going to see you clearly.'
Suddenly, after the victim drive off, another man, who is with the people in the Grand Prix, pounces on the female suspect, tacking her to the ground
Police did not release the suspect's name, but said she was a black female, about 5'2' and with corn rows or braids in her hair.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig says within two hours of getting the images to the media, they had the female suspect in custody, after a viewer recognized her and called police.
Officials said she was found one mile from her house on her way out of town.
The woman has not been identified but remains in custody.
