A tearful Sara Vandeneynde said yesterday that she narrowly escaped death after being shot in the neck by a U.S. deputy marshal, who had been hit by a car driven by a wanted man.Deputy Marshal Rodney Hartzell stopped a vehicle driven by Terry Moll, 33, of 18 City Park Ave., Apt. 45, at East Broadway and Starr Avenue about 6 p.m. Wednesday and ordered him out of the car at gunpoint, authorities said.
Moll fled and struck Mr. Hartzell with his car. Ms. Vandeneynde was in the passenger's seat.
The federal officer then fired a shot through the driver's side window, striking Ms. Vandeneynde in the neck, authorities said.
"I felt like I wasn't going to make it," Ms. Vandeneynde, 22, said from her hospital bed at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center, where she remained in fair condition last night.
Mr. Hartzell hurt his knee when he was knocked to the ground by the car. He was treated at St. Vincent.

Shouldn't hang out with criminals. It's a terrible shame that anyone got hurt. But realistically, anyone being hit by a car would be in fear for their life. The female was probably not innocent and if she was she probably needs to get some new friends who don't try to kill cops.
Agreed
if you cannot shoot a firearm accurately, you have no business being a cop. Regardless of who here "friends" happen to be.
But to the two who posted anonymously above, thank you for your input and trying to protect your "brothers" officers.
she should have gotten out of the car, and if you hang out with criminals then you assume some of the risk that that relationship may put you in.
