Alabama woman mistakenly shot husband in road-rage attack

An Alabama woman mistakenly shot her husband in the head while aiming for someone else in a road-rage attack, police said.

Erica Cole got into the road-rage altercation on Highway 69 in Dodge City at about 6:45 on Saturday, according to several local reports.

The incident continued to a nearby house, where Cole opened fire and mistakenly hit her husband, Nicholas Cole, authorities said.

He’s recovering at a nearby hospital in stable condition.

I'm not going to get too worked up about this one, but I hope she is convicted of a felony and loses her gun rights.
