Bullet Passes Through Vehicle Traveling on Interstate

White County-Today at approximately 7:20 p.m. on I-65 north bound between the 186 mile marker (mm) and the 188 mm (that is the State Road 18 exit approximately 13 miles north of Lafayette, IN), a vehicle was struck by a bullet.

Preliminary investigation by Trooper Stephen Grayson has revealed that a gray 2010 Chevrolet Silverado four door truck with three occupants was traveling the interstate when a bullet entered the front right passenger door window, traveled through the cab area and exited out the rear window on the driver’s side. No one inside of the truck was injured.

The Indiana State Police are asking assistance from the public that if anyone is aware of person or persons who might have been target shooting in the area to contact us at 765-567-2125. Any information would be beneficial in determining the outcome of this case. When using firearms while hunting and or target shooting, utmost care should be taken in knowing where the bullet travels after it leaves the barrel of the gun. Know where you are aiming the gun when you pull the trigger. The investigation is continuing.

Suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
