According to an SAPD officer on the scene, one vehicle hauling a trailer and a second vehicle first traveled southbound along I-35.
The driver hauling the trailer attempted to get in front of the second vehicle but had difficulty due to its cargo, authorities said.
At one point, police said both vehicles exited off Interstate 35, made a U-turn and began traveling northbound on I-35.
While along the interstate, SAPD said the driver hauling a trailer changed lanes to the right-hand lane next to the second vehicle’s passenger side and rammed their vehicle into it.
Next, the officer said the suspect’s vehicle came back around and began driving in the left-hand lane next to the victim’s vehicle. After that, the suspect driving with a trailer pulled out a weapon and fired at the victim’s vehicle five times.
Police said the victim was hit twice in the legs.
Both vehicles then pulled over into a parking lot on the I-35 access road near Rittiman Road.
The officer said the victim, a 44-year-old man, was transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspect, who SAPD was driving a purple Mazda with a trailer, fled the scene.
The department said its investigation is ongoing.
