Orange County Sheriff investigating car shootout on US 70 in NC
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an incident last week in which two people exchanged gunfire while driving on U.S. 70 in Mebane.
The shootings on Sept. 22 followed a verbal altercation that began at a Valero gas station in Mebane about 6 p.m.
People in two vehicles fired at each other while traveling toward Hillsborough, the Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.
The suspects’ vehicles were black and gray sedans.
No one was injured, but a bullet from the crossfire damaged the window of a nearby vehicle parked at Huey’s Restaurant and Oyster Bar.
Authorities have not yet identified the suspects, a Sheriff’s Office spokesperson told The News & Observer by email.
Anyone with information on this incident is encouraged to call Orange County investigator T. Hall at 919-245-2905.
