A Wilson County, Texas reserve deputy allegedly fired a handgun at a tractor-trailer during a road rage incident on Monday morning in San Marcos, Texas, television station KVUE reported.
San Marcos police are investigating the incident, according to the station. A spokesperson for the police told KVUE that 41-year-old Daniel Zurita Jr. fired six rounds into a tractor-trailer with what the station described as a Glock 40 handgun.
According to KVUE, Zurita was driving a personal vehicle and attempted to perform a traffic stop of the 18-wheeler after it cut him off. Zurita reportedly shot at the grill five times and shot once at the windshield. The driver, Frank Collins III, ducked and hit Zurita’s vehicle as he attempted to escape the shots.
San Marcos police were notified of the incident by an observer and both Zurita and Collins were stopped a few miles from the reported shooting, according to KVUE.
Zurita was reportedly arrested but was released on $50,000 bail.
Collins was taken to the hospital for treatment after glass from the windshield lodged in his stomach, according to television station WFAA.
The deputy probably thought the truck was involved in the military takeover of Texas.
A good guy with a gun could have stopped this. Right now. Where the hell was he?
Good to see that despite the Garland incident, the Lone Star State folks are getting back to their normal daily activities.
You shoot 6 rounds of 9mm into a vehicle and you will NOT be released on 50K bond.
Texas shining up cops medal as we read.
