FAIR LAWN, NJ — A Fair Lawn teacher was heading home from school on Tuesday afternoon when her car was hit by a paintball, police said. Now they're investigating to see if she was targeted.

The teacher was driving south in her car on River Road, past Morlot Avenue, about a quarter mile from the school, said Sgt. Eric Eleshewich. The car was struck with a paintball, and because her window was open, the paint splattered inside, Eleshewich said.
