Investigators are searching for witnesses to a brazen highway shooting in Randolph early yesterday morning, in which a gunman wounded three people when he stood up out of a sunroof and riddled another car with .45-caliber bullets.

At least eight rounds of gunfire from an automatic pistol pierced a white Toyota Camry as it sped north on Route 24, hitting three of the five occupants of the car, said Norfolk District Attorney William R. Keating.

The victims, two women and one man who were in their late teens and early 20s, had injuries described as not life-threatening.

The shooting occurred between 12:15 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. on Route 24 northbound after the Camry's occupants left the Brockton Fair, Keating said. The Camry's occupants told authorities they were accosted by someone in a white car near the exit for Route 139. "One of the passengers in the white car popped up though the sunroof and fired at least eight rounds into the car of the victims," Keating said.

The Camry's driver continued north, turned onto Route 128, and called police in Dedham.

The other car sped off. The victims were taken to Boston area hospitals. Authorities are asking witnesses to call State Police at 508-820-2121.

"Perhaps someone saw something - maybe at the fairground or on Route 24," Keating said.
