MCMINN COUNTY, Tenn. — A convicted felon from Etowah is facing three counts of attempted murder among others after shots were fired into a woman’s car on Wednesday night, according to the McMinn County sheriff.
Deputies responded to Highway 39 E near Englewood on reports of shots fired into a family's vehicle. The mother, Flor Antonia Guznam, reported that she was pulling into her driveway with her 23-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter in the car when they heard several shots, the right rear window shattered and something struck her arm.

During the investigation, deputies learned that Guzman recently ended a relationship with a coworker, Keith Jackson. She said Jackson had previously damaged her car and acted in a threatening way toward her when she tried to break things off.
