By LaBovick Law

Early morning driving in West Palm Beach has become more dangerous. West Palm Beach resident Myra Hudson was asleep in her home with her grandson and daughter when she was awakened by the sound of a loud crash.  Amazingly, the crash was that of 79-year-old man crashing his SUV into her home. This 79 year old was exchanging gunfire with other people in the West Palm Beach Neighborhood when he literally crashed into Ms.Hudson's home around 3:30 AM.

According to the police, none in the home was hurt, from the car accident.  However, the  79 year old gun slinging driver, Lamar Davis, was critically injured and transported to St. Mary's Medical Center.

Investigators are looking for the people involved in shooting 79 year old Lamar Davis. They also want to hear from any witnesses who may have seen the incident. Anyone with information is asked to call Palm Beach County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS (8477).

The American Red Cross gave Ms. Hudson and her family a place to stay for five days. They can't go back into their home until the dwelling is certified safe by inspectors.

We encourage readers to support the American Red Cross in their local community, so that the American Red Cross has the funds to assist families in times of need.
