A 53-year-old Salem man who owns a boat cover business is accused of shooting multiple rifle rounds at a woman’s vehicle after exposing himself to her and her family.

Police responded to a report of gunshots at around 12:03 a.m. Wednesday on Northeast Silverton Road near Northeast Hawthorne Avenue, the Salem Police Department said in a press release Wednesday afternoon.

Witnesses said a man exposed himself to a woman and her family as they sat in their vehicle in a parking lot.
