Woods and other family members who were on the scene then took McKay's truck and drove to their home, police said.

"This is kind of a first," Sgt. Kevin Morris told ABC11. "I've been to people struck by cars and I've been to shootings, but I haven't ever had this happen at the same time. Sad situation all around, for all the families."
