GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A driver is recovering from his injuries after police say he was shot at as many as six times and hit twice while leaving a gas station outside of Snellville on Saturday.
The incident happened around 12 p.m. off of Annistown Road and a short distance away from the Walmart on Centerville Highway in Gwinnett County.
According to police, the victim said he had just left a gas station at the corner of Annistown Road and Castle Club Drive after forgetting his wallet when he was followed by another driver in a green car. As they were traveling on Annistown Road, the victim said the other driver began shooting at him.
"He pulled up next to him, shot at him four times and then pulled in front of him and shot at him twice," Gwinnett Police Cpl. Joseph Brewer said.
At that point, Brewer said the driver crossed the center median into oncoming traffic and hit another vehicle head-on.
The shooting victim managed to get out of his vehicle and walk to an intersection across from the Centerville Walmart where a witness began helping him until first-responders arrived.
The victim, who was shot in the leg and shoulder, was taken to an area hospital with what police believed weren't life-threatening injuries.
"So, he was able to talk to detectives and give an interview and, as of now, he has no motive and said he's never met the person before," Brewer said.
The suspect was described only as a young black male with a fade haircut who was wearing a "puffy dark-colored jacket."
