Murfreesboro police are investigating a potential link between a home shooting and a nearby carjacking, which led to a high-speed chase and a deadly crash in Warren County last week.
Julia Pegler’s home was hit with at least 15 bullets just minutes before a carjacking down the road. The carjacking ended in Warren County when the suspect collided with another vehicle, killing a well-known business leader.

“There’s a few up there, one right here. There’s one, two, three, four right there,” Pegler said, pointing to bullet holes.
Pegler — who feels grateful after the incident — remembered waking to loud banging at her door.
“She was banging on our door asking for help and somebody shot at her? The neighbor across the street saw it all happen,” she said.
The shots were fired around 3:30 a.m., with several bullets entering the home.
“The bullets … it just rang. It was like your head was ringing. Everything was ringing. It literally vibrates your entire body — 15 of them. It was loud and craziest thing,” Pegler said.
