Two people were inside that vehicle at the time of the shooting. Fortunately, neither was hit.

Bullets fly through the windshield of a truck driving east on the Intercounty Connector--between I-95 and Briggs Chaney Road.

"Glass striking one of the subjects in the vehicle--glass got in her face. And then, the bullet penetrated the clothing of another subject that was in the vehicle," said Lt. Kevin Ayd, MdTA Police.
