Road rage leads to shootings on I-94, I-696 in Macomb County
ROSEVILLE, Mich. (FOX 2) - Road rage led to a driver shooting at another driver both on I-94 and I-696 on Friday morning.
Police said the drivers were on I-94 between 8 Mile and 9 Mile when one driver cut off the other one around 6 a.m. This led to one of the drivers shooting at the other once. The victim was struck, but kept driving.
The drivers were "brake checking each other" and erratically and aggressively driving, said Roseville Police Chief Mitch Berlin.
Both drivers then got onto westbound I-696 and headed toward Groesbeck in Roseville, where the suspect fired eight more shots at the victim's vehicle, police said.
The victim was taken to a hospital. He suffered a non-life threatening injury and is expected to recover. The shooter, however, fled the scene.
An investigation is ongoing.
"We want anybody that saw anything this morning, or see anything in the future, (to) call us," Berlin said. "We'll be there."
Roseville police do have some leads, but are always accepting tips.
