A woman was shot in the shoulder Wednesday night when someone fired into her vehicle on Powder Springs Road in Cobb County.

The shots were fired from another vehicle, Marietta police told Channel 2 Action News. After the shooting, the victim drove to a QuikTrip at the corner of Powder Springs and Sandtown roads to seek help.

The injured woman is expected to survive.

Marietta police turned their investigation over to Cobb County police, as it was believed the shooting originated in their jurisdiction, a spokesman for the city agency said. Not much is known about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

“This is still being investigated to determine a suspect,” Cobb police spokesman Sgt. Wayne Delk said in an email. “We don’t have enough info to say whether this was completely random or someone who knows the victim.”
