UPD: Road rage sends one man to the ICU after being shot
URBANA, Ill. (WAND) — Police said a road rage incident has ended with a driver in intensive care after being shot.
Around 4:30 this afternoon, UPD went to the intersection of Busey Ave. and Park St. for a shooting with injuries.
Police said they were made aware the shooting stemmed from a road rage incident that happened near Five Points and continued through Busey Avenue and Park St. A female driver and a male passenger engaged in a verbal fight with another man driving by himself. The female driver followed the car into Carle Hospital’s emergency department parking lot, then pulled onto Park St. to create space between himself and the other vehicle.
The female driver and the male passenger exited their vehicle near Park St. The woman allegedly was armed with a baseball bat. The man walked toward the other male driver with his hand under his shirt. The solo driver believed he was armed with a gun. The driver, a concealed carry permit holder, then drew out their legally concealed gun and fired several shots, hitting the male passenger. The driver called 911.

The aid rendered wasn’t sufficient. Thanks, Gun Bunny.
