Man Shot At While Driving In Snellville, Suffers Injuries

SNELLVILLE, GA—A Gwinnett County man is recovering from his injuries after police say someone shot him as he was driving over the weekend.

Around 12 p.m. Saturday, officers say they responded to a shooting on Annistown Road near the Walmart located at 3435 Centerville Highway. Once on scene, police said they found the victim in the road with gunshot wounds to the leg and shoulder. The victim was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Detectives say the victim was shot at six times while driving on Annistown Road toward Centerville Rosebud Road. After getting shot in the leg and should, the victim drove over the center median and collided with a vehicle in the oncoming traffic. The victim was able to get out of his vehicle and began limping down the sidewalk to the road where the officers found him.

The victim told detectives he'd gone to a gas station but forgot his wallet, so he turned around and left. That’s when he noticed a green car driven by a black male in his 20s with a fade haircut and wearing a dark colored puffy jacket follow him out of the parking lot. He said the car pulled next to him and the driver began shooting at him. He said he did not know who the shooter was or why he was attacked.

The shooter, police said, continued driving when the victim crossed the median and crashed.
