The Mobile County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting that injured two people on Christmas.

The shooting happened in the area of McDonald Road and I-10 around 1 p.m. on Christmas Day.

Two people were admitted to a hospital for treatment of gunshot wounds, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.

In an interview with detectives, a woman said that she was driving on McDonald Road when a man in a burgundy Hyundai with a Virginia tag fired into her vehicle.

She said they were headed north toward I-10 when the Hyundai began to slow down and make multiple break checks. When the Hyundai was driving parallel with her, she saw an unknown black male driving the vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office.

The woman told detectives the man then smiled at her and fired a shot, striking her vehicle.

The woman suffered a gunshot wound to her leg, the release said. A second victim, who was in the passenger seat, then returned one shot to the suspect’s vehicle.

The woman said she drove her passenger to a local hospital after seeing him slumped over on his side with a serious gunshot injury to his neck.

The passenger was immediately transported to another local hospital because of his injuries and is listed in critical condition, the sheriff’s office said.

Mobile sheriffs urge anyone who has information about the crime to contact the office at 251-574-8633 or report anonymously online.
