CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio — Detectives from the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department are investigating a shooting that happened outside a Sheetz gas station on Sunday afternoon.
It happened around 4:43 p.m. in the 1200 block of Main Street.
Officers responded to the area after being notified of shots being fired. When officers arrived, they discovered that two vehicles had been struck by gunfire, including one that had a 13-year-old boy in it. No injuries were reported, police said.
Body camera video shows police speaking with a shaken-up mother at the Sheetz near Main Street and Howe Avenue.
"Me and my son was in the car," she said.
The woman was in her Dodge Avenger with her 13-year-old son when shots were fired into her back windshield at the gas station.
Police said another vehicle was also struck by gunfire, but no one was hurt.
According to police, a preliminary investigation shows that the shooting resulted from a road rage incident in Akron before crossing over into Cuyahoga Falls.
"She said that she accidentally cut someone off and they waved a gun at her and she got scared and came over to Sheetz and they followed her and shot her car," said Brittany Martin, a witness at the gas station.
No arrests have been made at this time, but detectives are working leads to identify the occupants of a dark SUV that may have been involved. A specific description of the vehicle and its occupants wasn't provided.
"I was kind of like, 'Oh, here? Really?' Like, there's a gas pump right there. What if he blew up the whole place? That would be horrible. That would be so scary. That would be much more of a casualty than whatever you're trying to accomplish," said Martin.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department at 330-971-8333. You can also text a tip to 847411.
