John James said he was visiting from Atlanta with family when glass shattered around him.
“I think God I’m alive, that it didn’t strike any one of us,” said James.
The Volusia County sheriff believes the gun might have been a BB or pellet gun. FHP said it found a car in Jacksonville that’s possibly involved. Right now, it’s still working to confirm that.
No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.
Drivers are looking out for more than just other cars.
