A driver pulled a gun and shot at another vehicle in a road rage incident in Henniker, New Hampshire, Tuesday evening, police say.

The victim told police that the driver of a small white pickup truck passed him on the left and fired a gun at his car. No one was hurt, but the gunfire shattered both back passenger windows. The vehicles were traveling on Route 202/9 and Old Concord Road around 7 p.m., according to police.

Police were still searching for the driver, as of Wednesday afternoon.

Gregg Morgan said he could hear the shooting — he thinks he was about 100 yards away.

"I think it’s crazy that somebody would pull a gun, just because of a road incident," he said. "If you're upset because somebody is going slow or, you know, deal with it. I don't think road rage is the way to go."

Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident is asked to call police. Tips can be made anonymously to the Hampshire Crime Line at (603) 226-3100.
