Kansas City woman shot five times during Uber ride

Kansas City woman Terah Moore says she is blessed to be alive after a quick Uber trip for a Red Bull turned into a life‑threatening chase that ended with her being shot five times.

According to KCTV5, Moore says on March 22 she ordered the ride before work. The trip had barely begun when her driver noticed a burgundy Jeep Grand Cherokee behind them. According to Moore, the driver said, “I think I’m getting followed.”

Attempts to Escape

Moore says she tried to help the driver get away. She directed her through side streets, hoping to break the tail. However, the Jeep stayed close. Moore says the SUV had pulled out of her apartment complex at the same time, but she initially dismissed it as coincidence.

As the chase continued, Moore says the danger became clear. The driver crossed railroad tracks as a train approached, but the Jeep still followed.
