Five persons were sitting in a car in the 200 block of Village Green Drive when two men reportedly approached them and fired into the air. One of the men in the car then fled on foot. The suspects, armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a pistol, fired at him. They ran off but a short time later, as the victim ran down Nashboro Boulevard, a silver Dodge Charger, now occupied by the gunmen, drove by and again fired several shots toward him. He was struck three times in his lower legs. The injuries were non-life threatening.

Anyone who recognizes the Dodge Charger, which appears to have two different shades of silver paint, in the attached surveillance photos or has information about the gunmen is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.
