The shots were fired around 6:40 p.m. at Oak and Fillmore streets.

Louis King, 48, was driving his Department of Public Works pickup truck when three bullets struck his vehicle, one narrowly missing King as it struck his windshield.

A second vehicle driven by a woman in her 30s was also struck by bullets.

Witnesses said the shots were fired from a vehicle described as a light-colored SUV which was chasing another vehicle.

No injuries were reported.
