— Police continued searching Monday for the person who shot and wounded an Uber driver who was in east Raleigh to pick up a passenger for an overnight fare, authorities said.

The incident occurred before 2:15 a.m. on Hill Street near Saint Augustine's University.

According to a call made to 911 after the shooting, the unidentified driver cries uncontrollably as she tries to get help.

"Someone shot me!" she said through tears. "I'm bleeding out of my head."

The woman's injury was said to be non-life-threatening, and she was rushed for treatment to WakeMed, but information about her condition was pending.

Authorities said the bullet struck the top of her head.

In a statement, Uber told WRAL News, "What police are reporting is very concerning and we’ve reached out to check on both the driver and the rider’s well-being. We’ll work with law enforcement to help with their investigation.”

The woman told the 911 dispatcher that when she arrived at the scene, someone started firing at her SUV.

It was not clear if the gunfire resulted from a robbery attempt or if the driver was caught in crossfire.

The passenger fled the SUV, and the victim drove about a mile from the shooting to South East Street and New Bern Avenue, where she stopped to call police.

Several officers were dispatched to the scene to investigate, and yellow crime scene tape was erected while the officers collected evidence.

Shatter glass marked the spot, where the shooting occurred.

Some residents in the neighborhood said they heard the gunfire but many of them stayed inside their homes.

"I rolled over and went back to sleep," one resident said about the gunfire. "I'm so used to hearing it."
