United States: Two dads are accused of shooting one other’s young daughters during an alleged road rage incident in Florida.
According to the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office, William Hale, 36, and Frank Allison, 43, are both charged with attempted murder for the event that occurred on October 8 close to Jacksonville.
An arrest report claims that Hale and Allison got into a driving argument while travelling with their families in different cars.
Along with this, the two males were alleged to have “brake checking each other” and acting like they were playing a “cat and mouse” game as they drove recklessly along US Highway 1.
Hale was allegedly spoken to by deputies when he was operating a black Dodge Ram. They said Hale informed them that he had an altercation with Allison’s Nissan Murano in a car rage situation.
According to the complaint, Hale and his family were returning from Jacksonville to Georgia when Allison allegedly tried to push Hale off the road. According to the complaint, someone in Hale’s truck tossed a water bottle into Allison’s car after someone in Allison’s vehicle started insulting Hale.
According to the article, Hale claimed to have heard a “pow” just before his daughter, who was five years old, was wounded in the leg.
Then, he claims, he reached for his gun and shot Allison’s car “with all that was in the magazine.” The 14-year-old daughter of Allison was hit by one of the shots while riding in the backseat and had a collapsed lung, according to the report.
Then, both drivers stopped after spotting a policeman who was standing on the side of the road. During a press conference, Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper stated that as both guys got out of their cars, they started fighting, and a deputy had to break them up. They were both detained.
