Witnesses reported hearing some kind of disturbance on the roadway. They said it sounded like an arguement between several people. Witnesses also reported a full size pick-up in the area at the time of the shooting.
The truck reportedly fled, southbound on Ross Road, at a high rate of speed.
“Investigators have determined that one of the bullets fired had smashed through the window of a nearby residence,” says Cst.
