Road Rage Gun Pull, DUI Arrests on I-75

0:00Two drivers got busted after a wild road rage clash on Interstate 275, near the sunshine Skyway Rest Area in St. Petersburg. It kicked off with a crash when a Chevrolet Silverado sideswiped a Dodge Ram pickup, and things escalated fast with one guy pulling a gun. Troopers got calls around 8.30 a.m. Wednesday, about a reckless white Silverado heading southbound. Both drivers pulled over on the highway, stepped out, and that's when Paul Shannon, 55 and behind the wheel of the Ram, drew his weapon on. Gary Thompson, 50, the Silverado driver, and told him to hit the deck. Florida Highway Patrol is stressing road safety now more than ever, urging folks to dial 911 or star FHP if they spot aggressive driving. Stay back and never engage. This incident shows how quick tempers can turn deadly on Interstate. Shannon's locked up on an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge, while Thompson faces DUI and refusing a urine test. Both ended up in Manatee County, jail, a stark reminder of the risks we all dodge daily.
