EAST PALO ALTO — A man suffered serious injuries on Saturday night while washing his car in his driveway, police said.

Officers were called at 9:07 p.m. to a home in the 2100 block of Cooley Avenue after a report of several gunshots fired in that area, said Detective John Norden.

When officers arrived they found a 30-year-old man lying in the driveway of his home suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his torso, Norden said.

The victim was transported to a local hospital in serious condition.

A preliminary investigation revealed the victim had been standing in the driveway of his residence washing his vehicle when a gray or silver colored sedan approached and stopped in the street adjacent to the driveway, Norden said.

One of the car’s occupants then fired a handgun from the inside of the vehicle and struck the victim with several rounds.

The vehicle then sped away eastbound on Cooley Avenue, Norden said.

A motive was not immediately known.

As of Sunday, the victim was listed in serious but stable condition, police said.
