It’s the Wild West out there, nowhere far more so than in the Sunshine State, exactly where Central Florida’s WESH 2 news studies that a person fired various pictures as a result of his personal windshield soon after he states the driver of another car pointed a gun at him. Dashcam footage captured the incident, which took place on Florida’s Highway 417 in Orange County.

In accordance to Mazzetta, the Nissan was becoming pushed aggressively and it bumped Mazzetta’s truck when he tapped the brakes. Then it passed him, and the driver pointed a gun at him out the window. Which is when Mazzetta opened hearth.
