Minutes later, 30-year-old Sgt. Matthew Key was run off the road on his motorcycle, and shot at, as well.
The second incident happened several miles away on Cliffdale Road. Key was treated at Womack Army Medical Center, and is expected to be fine.
Now, police need the public's help.
They believe the two incidents are connected and that a male and female, either black or Hispanic, driving a four door silver or white sedan, ran the soldier off Cliffdale Road.
Anyone with information relating to this crime is asked to contact the Fayetteville Police Department at (910) 433-1856, or Crime Stoppers at (910) 483-TIPS(8447).
