The vehicle was occupied by at least two individuals, one of whom shouted an expletive regarding the victim's dog before multiple shots from an airsoft gun or possibly bb gun style of weapon was fired at her. Approximately 20-25 of these shots were fired in quick succession and the vehicle quickly drove off. It is not believed that the victim or her dog were struck by the projectiles.
