The Mishawaka assistant police chief tells ABC 57 News the shooting was reported Wednesday evening at 10:10 p.m.

According to police, a person was driving northbound on Grape Road and opened fire on another driver near Chili’s.

One of the shooters was shot and injured. An innocent woman was also shot. Police say both shooting victims were rushed to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police tell ABC 57 the woman was simply “at the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Friday’s, which was supposed to be open until Midnight, was closed early because of the shooting. The manager said Friday’s will be open again Thursday morning at 11 a.m.
