Driver riddles semitrailer-tractor with bullets after crash on I-5 in Tacoma

TACOMA, Wash. -- A crash on Interstate 5 in Tacoma led to an eruption of gunfire, but luckily no one was hurt.

It was just after 4:30 p.m. when a semi truck crashed into the back of a sedan on the ramp to the Port of Tacoma off the southbound lanes of the freeway, according to Trooper Johnna Batiste.

The impact pushed the sedan several feet. The driver of the semi then got out of his car with a gun and fired several shots at the semi, Batiste said.

No one was struck by the bullets and there were no injuries.

1. I live in Tacoma.... but was that a typo? the semi driver shot up his own truck?

2. No

The driver of the sedan which the semi-truck ran into did.

3. But the article says the semi driver did the shooting:

The driver of the semi then got out of his car with a gun and fired several shots at the semi, Batiste said.

4. Other sources all say the driver of the car did the shooting.

5. IOW, the article in the OP *does* have a typo, as the first responding post indicated. nt

6. The first responding post *asked* if it was a typo.

It appears that it is a typo.

[tblue37]

7. Yes, but to his question, the OP said no--i.e., no typo--which is what prompted my post. nt

8. Two questions were asked.

I assume the "no" was in in response to "the semi driver shot up his own truck?"

9. Our "well-trained militia" again. NM

10. in this country if you want to have a gun, you should be

required to go through basic training. Or would that just give us better trained murderers???
