The driver picked up multiple passengers shortly after 3 p.m. in his green Honda Pilot when someone in a light-colored vehicle approached them and opened fire, striking both the driver and one of the riders in the upper body, a police report states.
One of the rideshare passengers pulled out a gun and returned fire while the driver ditched his car to get out of the crossfire.

"He picked up a couple of passengers and then out of nowhere, he came to a stop and then they started shooting into his vehicle," a witness told Local 10.
One of the uninjured passengers then hopped in the driver's seat of the rideshare vehicle and sped off to a local hospital, according to police.
