During Saturday's chase, Ashley Williams says she heard a loud sound while driving on Interstate 5. She only found out after police had passed her by that there was a chase where the suspect was shooting out his back window. A stray bullet went through her vehicle and got lodged in her son's car seat. (Courtesy: Ashley Williams)
