TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN9-TV) -- Tucson Police say a man was shot at while driving near Harrison and Escalante.

Officers say an adult male was driving when his window blew out. He managed to pull into a nearby Circle K near the Golf Links and Harrison.

Dugan says it appears someone did shoot his window. A bullet grazed the man's neck area, and he was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police were able to speak with the man, and he was conscious when they arrived, Dugan says. 

Initial reports indicate that this may have been a random shooting. Officers do not know where the shots came from.
