UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING ON I35 AT THE SPEED LIMIT WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP OVERHEAD. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS, WONDERED IF IT WAS GUN FIRE. A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN I GOT IN MY VEHICLE, AND THE SUN WAS OUT, I WAS CLOSING THE SUNROOF COVER WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE GLASS WAS SHATTERED, PIECES OF GLASS WERE EVERWHERE AND BEGAN FALLING WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE COVER. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS SHREDS OF GLASS ARE EVERYWHERE.
