Arizona Department of Public Safety officials are investigating an isolated road rage incident in which shots were fired from another vehicle Saturday afternoon.
According to DPS, the incident occurred along the Loop 101 and Bell Road when someone fired from one vehicle at another on the freeway in Peoria.
Raul Garcia of the DPS said that a tan pickup truck pulled up alongside of a dark grey vehicle and fired multiple shots for an unknown reason. Multiple rounds did strike the vehicle. No one was struck by the bullets or debris.
The driver’s side window shattered and the rear passenger window was completely shot out.
The tan truck then pulled behind the car and got off on the Bell exit. That is the last time DPS has seen the vehicle.
According to Garcia, the incident appears to be isolated and they are not ruling out a road rage incident.

Sometimes I don't know if you're really an idiot or just trying very hard to ignore valid points.
The point is that there is no way to stop maniacs from getting guns, except to find a way to identify and manage those maniacs. You cannot stop people from getting something simply by making it illegal. Drugs are what we can an "example" of that fact. Get it?
You don't understand human nature very well, do you?
No matter how much of a hassle it becomes for honest citizens to purchase a gun for sport or personal protection, it won't become appreciably more difficult for people who are motivated and who don't respect the law to obtain them.
Just as they can bypass the "honest" market today in order to buy drugs, they can simply bypass the honest market to buy guns.
People who don't respect the law have no incentive to require background checks.
