Watch: Shooting on I-275 after road rage incident
According to police, they responded around 3:27 a.m. on Thursday to westbound I-275 near Princeton Pike for reports of a person who had been shot.
When arriving on the scene, police say they located the victim outside of their vehicle on the side of the interstate.
According to police, the victim had not been struck by gunfire but had sustained injuries from glass fragments after a bullet struck and shattered a window of the vehicle.
Police say a preliminary investigation revealed that the victim and the driver of another vehicle were involved in a road rage incident while traveling along I-75 and I-275, in which the victim began recording the other vehicle after observing "erratic driving."
