911 caller: ‘They shot me with an AK’
Channel 9 obtained a copy of the 911 call made by the driver involved, who told dispatchers he was shot on I-485. The caller told the dispatcher a silver Honda coupe shot at him with an AK-47.
“I have a car that just shot my whole truck up and I think I’m shot,” the caller said on the recording. And then, “They shot me with an AK.”
“What kind of vehicle are you in?” the dispatcher asked.

“I’m in a pickup truck. I’m in a big box truck,” the caller replied.
“Is the vehicle that shot at you anywhere near you?” the dispatcher asked.
“No, it went up the highway,” the caller responded.
Channel 9 is working to learn more about the victim and the driver who fired the shots, and we’re reaching out to police for more information.
