Witnesses said to a local reporter that the man was in a red car and screamed profanities before allegedly discharging his firearm. After the weapon was fired, the suspect allegedly drove onto the interstate in an attempt to get away. Angie Freeman noted that entire families were at the event, and they did nothing to instigate the driver’s anger other than having a good time supporting their president.
“Everybody was cutting up and having fun and laughing and everybody on 77 was blowing the horns and waving,” Freeman said. “We had all the windows down because we had all the flags out the windows, and it was very loud and it was four or five shots.”
