Police described a man who was seen in the area at the time of the 7 a.m. shooting as a white or Hispanic man, about 6 foot to 6 feet 3, with short hair and a medium to stocky build.
The driver could have blended in with traffic as students, parents and staff arrived to a nearby high school, which was later locked down.

Authorities said late Monday they were investigating several leads but had not made any arrests.
VICTIM REMEMBERED: Slain constable remembered as “cop’s cop”
Just last week, Greenwood had told county officials he felt threatened by a man he’d once targeted in a corruption investigation. He shared his concerns with officials in the Harris County Attorney’s Office who were handling an administrative matter related to the case, according to a source who asked not to be identified because of the nature of the investigation.
“I believe [this person] poses a real threat to my and my family’s safety,” Greenwood said in an email sent Thursday to the county attorney’s office.
Greenwood’s concerns about the corruption case were passed along to law enforcement, the source said.
