A Lyft driver in Texas and his passenger escaped injury early Wednesday after an unidentified gunman opened fire on the vehicle as it left an apartment complex, authorities said.

The 29-year-old male driver was pulling out of the apartment complex near NE Loop 410 and Broadway on San Antonio’s Northside when he heard gunshots ring out and strike his vehicle, San Antonio police told Fox News via email.
