DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) — A Durham man was hospitalized on Tuesday after being shot at a Durham County intersection.

It happened just before noon. Witnesses told Durham County Sheriff investigators that two cars stopped in the left-hand turn lane of Globe Road. They said the driver of one car, described as a matte black coupe, possibly a Mustang or Camaro, fired multiple rounds into a grey BMW in front of it.

The suspect vehicle then fled on Page Road toward Interstate 40. The shooting suspect was described as possibly in his 30s and wearing all-black clothing.

The gunshot victim drove north, eventually stopping in a parking lot at S. Miami Blvd. and T.W. Alexander Drive.

EMS responded to the scene and took the man to a hospital for treatment of what were described as non-life-threatening injuries.
