The two people shot were traveling in a Kia Sportage in the northbound lanes when another vehicle started shooting at them, troopers said. This happened near temple Avenue around 8 p.m.

The driver was able to pull over onto the right shoulder of the road, despite suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. Troopers said the passenger suffered serious injuries.
