Previous Info: At 9:21 a.m. on New Year’s Day, Eugene Police received calls regarding a shooting involving two vehicles near 7th Place and Seneca Road. Media called the PIO and Lt. Doug Mozan provided interviews and a news release. Story: Early information suggests a dispute occurred between the occupants of a White Dodge Caliber, and a Silver or Teal Honda (Accord or Civic). At least three shots were fired from inside the Caliber towards the Honda, and each vehicle fled the scene.
