A man on his way to work Tuesday was injured after a gun blast shattered his car window.
The 37-year-old victim was driving his car through the Stafford Marketplace shopping center about 4:30 a.m., trying to avoid traffic on Va. 610, when he heard a loud blast in the area of T.J. Maxx and Lowes, said Stafford Sheriff’s spokesman Bill Kennedy.
After the blast, the man saw that his rear car widow had shattered, and then noticed a hole in his windshield and a tear in the driver's side head rest, said Kennedy.
Looking for a hospital, the injured victim then drove to the entrance of the Aquia Harbor neighborhood where the gate attendant called 911, said Kennedy.
Once police and rescue crews arrived, the man was taken to a hospital and treated for his injuries. Investigators are not certain if the man was injured by flying debris or by a bullet fragment, said Kennedy.
The victim was not able to provide a description of the gunman.
Before the shot rang out, the man was headed to Interstate 95 for his usual commute to Northern Virginia, police said.
Anyone with information about the shooting is encouraged to call the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office at 540-568-4000.
