Police in Richmond are on the lookout after a road rage incident resulted in the occupant of one car opening fire on the driver of another vehicle.

Richmond R-C-M-P say they responded to a call of shots fired on Hollybridge Way on the evening of June 28th.

Investigators say the victim told officers he was cut off by a white Kia vehicle, and when he pulled next to the Kia to shout at them, the passenger in the Kia allegedly shot at him with a gun.

Police say the victim was not hit by the bullets but suffered injuries from the shattered glass from his car window.
