(September 19, 2008)—Waco police were looking for suspects Friday after someone opened fire from inside a vehicle after a traffic accident and shot a Central Texas teenager in the mouth.
It happened around 10:30 p.m. Thursday in the 800 block of Colcord.
Officers were dispatched to a report of a two-vehicle accident in the area, but when they arrived, they encountered a crowd of as many as 100 people who were “screaming and yelling at each other,” police said Friday.
Witnesses told officers that the driver of one of the vehicles involved in the accident sped off after the accident.
The vehicle returned a short time later, police said, and someone inside fired four to six shots in the direction of the other vehicle involved in the crash.
One of the shots struck the teenager, who had walked after the crash and was standing at the side of the road, police said.
The victim, whose name wasn’t immediately available, was taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center in stable condition, police said Friday.
Police are looking for a black Saturn that should have damage to the right passenger side.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact the Waco Police Department at (254) 750-7500 or Crime Stoppers at (254) 753-HELP.
