(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.

to BLACK AND I AM PROUD: i doubt you ever had to pick cotton a day in your life or were bought/sold as a slave so dont act like you are Frederick Douglas or someone else for that matter - and go get an education because it's "s.l.a.v.e." not "s.a.l.v.e." - i'd rather you not try to rub me like an ointment anywhere.

TO Black and I am Proud....Thanks for reminding me why I'm voting for McCain. Pick yourself up, get a job and education. No one is stopping you! I'm sick of blacks doing nothing but complaining. You were treated much better than Indians were. There's no comparison to the slaughter of whole villages, tribes, women and children. Then rounded up to live on reservations where many starved to death. Indians have a name for Obama... "Walking Eagle". The translation is a bird so full of ****, it can no longer fly.......

Whites are quick to date are black man and woman. Whites are quick to try and act as if they are black. Whites are quick to go get a sun tan to get darker. But as soon as a hate crime happen are anything to that nature they are quick to judge blacks as if they(whites) dont have thugs in there race when they do. I belive the white man is the one thats bringing the drugs over into our country.Every race has some thugs, gangsters, and drug dealers not just blacks. Dont judge when your moma ,daddy,sister, are maybe your grandma is trying to be black.By the way are yall scared that Obama is going to win over the White man. You all are sick and need to find God cause its not slavy anymore we will not put up with slavy these days we will have yall as pour salves
