Police say someone opened fire into a teenager's car as he tried to exit U.S. 70 West onto Wayne Memorial Drive Monday night.
A police report said the 19-year-old was driving along the highway between Spence Avenue and Wayne Memorial Drive when he noticed the car next to him roll down the front passenger's window.
The teenager told police he thought that was odd, so he started to exit onto Wayne Memorial Drive.
When he did this, someone in the car beside him began shooting at his vehicle.
The gunfire reportedly struck his car twice -- one bullet lodged itself in the driver's door and the second ricocheted off the door.
The teenager told police he did not know who shot at him and did not know what type of vehicle the gunfire came from.
The report estimates the damages to the teenager's car at $400.
