If the DW knew Malia would be a shapeshifter since Peter is, and her, in my opinion, as well (due to the name) then she would also safely survive the crash (presumeably). Small kids are in the back seat so if you shoot at the driver then they should miss any kids in the back. The claw marks on the outside of the car were around the size of Scott's hand which makes you think it was the DW then searching for Malia, but by that time she was probably already in Coyote form and into the woods and the DW probably didn't have much to go off in terms of picking up a scent.

Unless the bullet manages to go all the way through the windshield, the mom, the head rest, and hit the kid. Or the person swerves to avoid you and then you hit one of the two kids in the back seat.

The claw marks were certainly fully grown, but if you thought the kid was still in the car why would you claw it up like that after shooting it? Those weren't exactly prying open claw marks. Shooting the car out was bad enough, she was already traumatized.
