A pickup truck, driven by an off-duty Houston police officer, was also struck by gunfire but he was not harmed.
“His vehicle was struck by gunfire. Fortunately, he was not injured.”
Both vehicles were seen with bullet holes in the front windshields. Miraculously, those rounds didn’t hit the people driving.
“Very fortunate today, how that gunshot that went through that car didn’t strike the driver,” said Lt. Crawson. I don’t have a clue. So, very fortunate that nobody was injured today. We want to encourage people out there on the freeway not to get involved in arguments with people.”
The Houston Police Department says they’re looking for a dark-colored sedan.
No arrests have been made.
