There is no mention as to injuries to the concealed carrier, so we can assume that he was uninjured during the incident.
It could have been random, gang-related, or maybe the two somehow knew each other. In any event, it’s a reminder to keep your guard up and never stop paying attention to your surroundings.
If the bad guy makes it, let’s hope that he’s put behind bars for an extended period of time.
