(PORTLAND, Ore.) On Tuesday, Portland police released a photo of a vehicle they believe is connected to a shooting in northeast Portland last month that left a TriMet bus driver seriously injured, KATU reports.

Around 7 p.m. on May 22, officers responded to Northeast 102nd and Halsey Street on reports that the bus driver had been shot.

The bullet went through the windshield and hit the driver in the shoulder, according to police. Police said the driver also got either glass or shrapnel in his eye.

It’s unclear what led up to the shooting, and police said the bullet could’ve traveled from blocks away before hitting the bus. The bus driver was likely not the intended target, police said.

TriMet is offering a $2,500 reward for any information on the incident that leads to an arrest and prosecution of whoever is responsible.
