The round struck the car of a third driver, who called to report the shooting; State Police said.

“This is another case of two drivers being unable to de-escalate from each other during a driving dispute,” First Lieutenant Mike Shaw said in the statement. “If you are driving and see a driver trying to engage with you, call 911. Try to exit if possible, and if not possible, try to create as much distance as possible. Most importantly, do no make eye contact with them.”
