A driver sideswiped a vehicle Sunday morning on Ardmore Boulevard in Wilkinsburg then shot at the car, striking its hood, state police said.

According to a release from the Pittsburgh office, a gray sedan drove alongside a red Toyota Avalon at 11:35 a.m. and sideswiped the Toyota. The driver of the Toyota followed the gray sedan onto the on-ramp to the Parkway East.

As the Toyota drove alongside the gray sedan on the on-ramp, the driver of the gray sedan shot at the Toyota, hitting its hood, police said.

No injuries were reported.

The shooter then continued west on the Parkway. A description of the shooter was not provided.

Police said the gray sedan, possibly a Chevy, might have damage to one of its sides.

Anyone who witnessed incident or knows any information are asked to contact the state police’s Pittsburgh office at 412-299-1607.
