Ontario Driver Heard 'Popping Sounds' On Highway 400 & Found Bullet Holes In Their Car

One Ontario driver was in for a scare on Sunday night while heading down Highway 400.

According to Ontario Provincial Police, on March 13, between 10:30 p.m. and 11 p.m., a driver was heading southbound down the highway, just south of Barrie, when their vehicle was reportedly hit by bullets.

The driver "reported hearing popping noises as two vehicles sped by that victim. The driver subsequently inspected their vehicle and located bullet holes in the rear of the vehicle. Investigators were able to find bullet fragments as well inside the vehicle," according to OPP Sgt. Kerry Schmidt, in a video that was posted to Twitter on March 15.

While the incident is still under investigation, police say they are unsure if the victim was targeted. "We don't know whether the vehicle that was struck was targeted or as a result of a random shooting or maybe a victim of wrong place wrong time," Schmidt continued.

Police say the two vehicles that were in the area at that time were reported to be an SUV and a sedan, with no other description.

OPP later posted two photos of the dark vehicle that was hit to Twitter, showcasing what appears to be bullet holes hitting the edge of the licence plate and the bottom of the car's bumper.
