Officers were informed of the incident a few minutes after 6 a.m. The male victim said he and his girlfriend were in their car getting ready to back into the driveway when he noticed a masked man standing in front of the vehicle. The man fired at least four shots into the windshield of the vehicle, then fled on foot in a northeast direction.
The male victim said he did to know who the suspect was or why anyone would want to harm him.
The suspect was described as wearing gray pants and a gray shirt with his face covered by a ski mask. The male victim was grazed across his chest by a bullet.
