According to a news release, the couple had just left a Shell gas station Friday when a white, four-door sedan with tinted windows and a paper license plate sped up alongside them and fired off multiple shots into the couple’s car.

“According to the driver, he said there was no interaction before that,” Sgt. Ben Beall said, speculating the shooting may be an incident of road rage, per the station. “They did stop at the gas station just west of us here, and he said he has no idea where the vehicle came from. It just came out of nowhere and started shooting at him.”

No arrests have been made.
