A Fort Worth woman and her mother are recovering after being shot during a violent home break-in last month, an attack police say was carried out by the woman’s ex-boyfriend as her three young children watched in horror. Thirty-two-year-old Sylvia Scott and her mother, Allura Stewart, were wounded in the Nov. 19 shooting at their home in the 1000 block of Beechgrove Terrace.
Family members said both women work for Crowley ISD. Scott suffered severe injuries after being shot in the neck, with the bullet traveling through her face. The wounds have left her struggling to speak and eat as she continues her recovery. Her three children, ages 8, 4, and 3, were not physically harmed but witnessed the shooting and continue to suffer emotional trauma, including recurring nightmares.
