Two cheerleaders in Texas have been shot following a horrific turn of events after they mistakenly went to the wrong car in a parking lot.
Woodlands Elite cheer team members Heather Roth and Payton Washington were at an H-E-B supermarket near Austin on Tuesday with two other girls as they’d just gotten home from cheer practice. Each week the four of them make a 360-mile round trip three times from the Texas capital to Houston, and they usually use the grocery store’s parking lot so they can all hop in one vehicle. Just after midnight, a tired Roth made her way to a car she believed to be her own in the parking lot so she could go home. Upon opening the door, she noticed a man in the passenger seat, and initially she panicked thinking someone had broken into her car, so she got back in her friend’s car.

It’s something that’s happened to all of us — it’s easy, especially when it’s late and you’re tired, to mistake a car that looks like yours as your own. Just an honest mistake, but sadly this would turn into a bloodbath for these young women…
According to ABC 13, the man exited the passenger side of the vehicle and walked up to where the girls were parked. Roth reportedly rolled down the window to apologize and explain the situation, but would never have the opportunity to do so as he allegedly pulled out a gun and “started shooting.”
Roth was grazed by a bullet but treated and released at the scene, according to CNN, but Washington wasn’t as lucky. She was struck in the leg and back, being left in critical condition as she was rushed to the ICU. She’s reportedly “doing well” but suffered a ruptured spleen as well as complications with her pancreas
