Police are searching for suspects in a shooting that occurred on Bloomington’s west side Saturday.\nThe incident began while the male complainant was driving his black 1991 Chevy pickup truck south on Curry Pike, said Sgt. Faron Lake reading from a police report. The complainant was driving behind what he described as an early 90’s model dark green four door vehicle, with a license plate prefix of 95.\nWhile the vehicles approached Third Street, the driver of the green vehicle slammed on his brakes several times, Lake said. The complainant pulled into the right lane when they reached the intersection of Third Street. The drivers of both vehicles engaged in a verbal argument and pulled into a nearby church parking lot to finish the argument. The driver of the green vehicle then began waving what the complainant described as a “black semi-automatic handgun.” When the light changed the driver of the green vehicle aimed the pistol at the complainant and fired. The shot hit the complainant’s truck just behind the driver’s side door. The green vehicle then made a U-turn and drove away heading northbound on Curry Pike. The complainant pulled over and called the police.\nThere were three people inside the green vehicle, said the complaitant. The driver was described as a male age 19 to 23, skinny, with brown hair, possibly wearing a red and white T-shirt and some type of hat. The front passenger was described as a male in his early 40s wearing grayish-brown coat. The complainant said he did not get a good look at the passenger who was in the back because the vehicle had tinted windows. A witness confirmed with the complainant that the vehicle had a license plate prefix of 95.\nOfficers were unable to locate the vehicle, but are trying to follow up on some possible suspects, Lake said.
