A bullet hit a man in his thigh, but we're told he'll be okay. Windows were shot out of at least two cars.

Other people were outside in the neighborhood at the time of the shooting. Luckily, the gunfire didn't hit any kids.

Lt. Craig Gleason/ Salt Lake City Police Dept.: "We're just lucky that, for the amount of rounds fired, we have only one injury."

Police don't know who the shooters are, what kind of car they were driving, or if they were targeting the man they shot.

Officers didn't get a chance to talk to the victim much because he was on his way to the hospital. Police are trying to get more answers this morning.
