A 19-year-old man and his sister were shot at while driving on the 14 Freeway and he believes it may be because he was flying flags on his truck for Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, abc7 reported.

Harry Nalbandyan was struck by gunfire while he was driving on the 14 near Crown Valley Road Tuesday around 10:30 p.m. The bullets narrowly missed his sister, who was in the passenger seat.

He says while he was driving on the freeway, someone pulled up alongside his truck.

"He rolled down his window and I rolled down my window just a little and we look at each other and out of nowhere he just starts firing," Nalbandyan said. "He fired eight shots at me."

"It saddens me because some people don't have the knowledge and don't educate themselves to know what yesterday really was - 1.5 million people killed in 1915," said Serg Nalbandyan, Harry's brother.
