A 46-year-old Kalamazoo woman was fatally shot while in a vehicle, around 4:45 PM Friday afternoon, in Kalamazoo.

Kalamazoo Police were called to the 1000-block of Jackson Street where they found the victim who had been shot by an acquaintance while sitting in a vehicle. The initial investigation has determined that a firearm was negligently discharged inside of an automobile and struck the victim.
