Utah mom accused of helping son in drive-by shooting

SALT LAKE CITY - A Utah woman is accused of driving her teenage son by a convenience store to shoot at rival gang members he had been fighting with at school.

Prosecutors say Lisa Egersdorf picked up her 17-year-old son from his Salt Lake City school and was behind the wheel when he fired several shots at the group.

Charging documents show she asked, "Did you get them?" after he fired at their car. No one was hurt in the Sept. 22 drive-by shooting.

Investigators say the 36-year-old woman acknowledged she and her son are members of a gang but denied the shots came from her car.

No attorney has been listed in court records for Egersdorf or her son, and they could not be reached by the Associated Press.
