Male, 19, shoots car believing vehicle is connected to burglary at dad's business. It's a costly miscalculation.

A 19-year-old male shot at — and hit — a vehicle in traffic Saturday night in Nashville, believing the car was connected to a burglary at his father's business, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said. Turns out the vehicle was an unmarked police patrol car, cops said. Brian Brown was working extra duty with the Violent Crimes Initiative and on his way to a burglary call when someone in a Toyota Camry traveling behind him on Doverside Drive fired several rounds at Brown's unmarked patrol car, police said. Two rounds struck Brown's unmarked patrol car, police said, and he wasn't injured. The 21-year-old driver said during an interview with detectives that his passenger mistook Brown’s unmarked patrol car for a vehicle involved in a burglary at his father’s business, police said.
