If you were driving on U.S. 19 in Pinellas Park, FL Tuesday morning, it was like a game of Mario Kart gone BAD!
Two men became involved in a road rage incident around 8am which resulted in gunfire.
Police say one man threw a piece of a banana at the other’s car after an argument while driving. Once the banana hit the other man’s vehicle, the second man produced a gun and fired it at the first man’s vehicle. While the driver was not hit by the bullet, the side window did shatter and shards of glass injured him.
According to WFLA, the shooter was charged with “shooting a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle and criminal mischief”. He was taken to jail. The injured man did not require hospitalization.
