Police said the woman was shot in the shoulder and sustained what were considered non-life-threatening injuries. She is expected to make a full recovery, police told ABC11.
The Wake County Sheriff's Office is using a K9 in an effort to track the suspect.
Little information was released about the suspect, who was described as a man wearing a blue jacket with the hood up and armed with a handgun.
Investigators recovered at least six to seven casings at the scene, GPD said.
Police told ABC11 that they did not believe there was an ongoing threat to the public. This was not a random incident, police added.
