“The two suspects believed that the victim had cut them off in traffic,” Sgt. Michele Pihera told Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson.

When Gwinnett County police responded to the shooting on Stone Drive in Lilburn Monday around 5 p.m., they found the truck riddled with bullets and a damaged white vehicle in the area.

Police arrested 29-year-old Deunte Mosley and 30-year-old Angela Willie. Mosley allegedly fired the shots and Willie allegedly drove the car that followed the victim and intentionally crashed into the pickup truck.

Somehow, the victim wasn’t hit by any of the bullets.

“We are very fortunate that not only was the victim not hurt, but nobody else was hurt in this incident,” Sgt. Pihera said.
