APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – Appleton police are investigating after someone apparently fired a shot from their vehicle, striking another vehicle on Wednesday.
Police say it happened on Northland Avenue (County Highway OO) near Meade Street on the city’s north side around 11:45 p.m.
The victim told police he was driving east on Northland when he heard a loud noise. Later on, he checked his vehicle and found a bullet hole on the passenger side.
Police say they’re looking for a dark-colored newer four-door vehicle. The driver was described as a white male, and the passenger as a white female. The vehicle was last seen heading north on N. Ballard Road.
