BOCA RATON, Fla. — A woman was shot Sunday afternoon in what Boca Raton police are calling a targeted attack near Northeast Second Court.
The victim was getting into her car around the 1400 block when several gunmen in a white Mercedes-Benz opened fire on her. Despite being shot, she managed to escape in her vehicle and drove west on Glades Road toward the hospital.

The attackers briefly chased her in the Mercedes before giving up the pursuit. The woman made it safely to the hospital for treatment.
Local resident Macario Lopez told WPTV he felt compelled to walk around the area to see what was happening.
"You feel safe here in this area, but when you hear about things like this, you feel a little uncomfortable because you don't know what kind of people you have around you," Lopez said.
Investigators believe this was a targeted attack and emphasize there's no ongoing threat to the public.
Police are asking anyone who witnessed the shooting or has information about the incident to contact them immediately.
This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
