The driver was injured by the shot, which narrowly missed his pregnant wife. She suffered injuries from flying debris.

Three pedestrians children ages 8 and 13 and a 38-year old woman, were injured in the accident along with five occupants of the Mazda and two people in the car hit by the Mazda. Everyone was transported to various hospitals for treatment and they are expect to recover fully from their injuries. Specific charges against the suspects were not immediately available.
