The next thing he knew, the glass was hitting the back of his head, and he found himself pulling off to the first place he could.
All we know right now is the shooter was a man, but there is no description on his vehicle.

The victim said there was no indication he had cut the man off, no speeding or honking. Just a blast of gunfire and a quick response to keep from getting hit.
