Christopher 'Dodge' Smith, 40, faces charges after allegedly shooting his girlfriend, Jessica Antolini, 30, during an argument outside a bar in Safe Harbor, Florida. Witnesses reported that Smith appeared to be actively searching for Antolini, describing him as looking 'possessed.' After allegedly shooting her in the face, Smith ran her over with his SUV and fled the scene with his 5-year-old child in the vehicle. Multiple 911 calls led deputies to locate Smith's SUV, which was eventually immobilized through a PIT maneuver. Smith has been arrested on charges of attempted first-degree murder and child abuse, and his girlfriend remains hospitalized in critical condition.
