DETROIT, MI -- Police have released video and surveillance images of a bizarre shooting that took place in the parking lot of a gas station about 4:20 a.m. Sunday.

The shooter, a woman donning a frilled miniskirt and red boots, appears to use her underwear as a makeshift holster from which she pulls out a handgun that she fires wildly into another vehicle, striking the driver multiple times. He survived the injuries.

Detroit Police Officer Nicole Kirkwood said the woman was arrested about 10:30 p.m. Sunday. Charges were pending Monday afternoon.

Police say there was a "heated argument" between the occupants of a blue Dodge Charger and two men who can be seen in the surveillance footage pulling into the Mobil gas station at 15510 Fenkell in a green Pontiac Grand Prix.

A shirtless passenger in the Grand Prix has his head down and appears to be sleeping. The shooter spots the men, ducks into the Charger and slips the firearm up under her miniskirt. She and another man approach the Grand Prix's open window, the woman with her arms crossed.

The man hunches over and begins talking to the occupants. Another man rushes into the video frame and shoves him to the ground as the woman hikes up her skirt and unveils the handgun.

"The driver, stunned by the shots, lunges the vehicle forward, knocking down one of the males from the blue Charger," Detroit police said in a statement. "Subsequent to a brief struggle, one of the males from the Grand Prix was able to wrestle the gun away from the female, at which point both vehicles fled from the area.

"The victim was privately conveyed to a local area hospital."

Police say the gas station is part of Project Green Light, an effort to improve safety at gas stations throughout the city. Participating gas station who work with Detroit police to meet certain standards, including the installation of high-quality surveillance systems, are able to attain the Project Green Light designation.
