Nassau County Sheriff Leeper said the agency “received multiple 911 calls with reports of people being shot at” on Highway 1 near Callahan in suburban Jacksonville.
They were speeding, weaving in and out of traffic and the situation just escalated to the point to where Leeper said “The driver of the Nissan, Allison, then grabbed his Sig Sauer .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun and fired one shot at the Dodge truck before driving away at an average speed”.
The driver of the other vehicle said he heard a "loud pop" but didn't think anything of it until passengers in the back seat started freaking out. “The bullet that Mr. Allison fired went into the right side rear passenger door and struck a 5-year-old girl in the right leg.” Leeper said.
"Hale then “sped up” and “began firing several shots from his Glock 43 9mm semi-automatic handgun out of the driver window” Leeper said. The 14 year old daughter of the other driver was struck in the back.
Both men's wives called 911 and Deputies eventually caught up to them and arrest were made and the daughters were treated by medics.
"Both men were arrested and charged with second-degree attempted murder" Leeper said.
