The video then shows a driver getting out of his vehicle with what appears to be a baseball bat-type object and slamming the object on the trunk of a vehicle in front of him. Moments later, the car struck by the object circles back and one gunshot could be heard coming from that car. The video captured the shooting with what appeared to be a bullet striking the driver’s side-view mirror. One victim was transported to an area medical center to be treated for minor injuries, according to the police report. It is unclear exactly how many people were in either of the cars.

Three victims are listed in the police report. $500 in damages was reported on a Toyota RAV4, which appeared to be the vehicle struck by gunfire. $200 was reported on a second, unidentified vehicle.

There is no mention of an arrest or a suspect at this time and this remains an active investigation.
