Wow. Just wow. I know THAT intersection can get really congested. There is no turning lanes for the people who want to make a left turn so that holds up everyone else. (You can only turn when there is an arrow to turn because traffic is too heavy otherwise). But nothing is worth shooting someone because you are mad at their driving. Crazy. If road rage is really the case. I guess we will find out soon.
