The gunshot victim was taken to Miami Valley Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to Dayton police.

The shooting was reported around 1 p.m. after a 911 caller reported a man had been shot inside a vehicle, according to the Montgomery County Regional Dispatch Center.

“Somebody, I don’t know who, shot into his car. I heard about three or four shots and I looked around,” the caller said. “He stopped because they shot his tire out.”

There were several bullet holes on a silver Chevrolet SUV on one of the U.S. 35 West ramps to I-75. There were approximately five or six rounds fired into the vehicle, according to police.

The shots fired incident remains under investigation.
