An anger management class dropout or a case of terminal stupidity. Man shoots dump truck.

He shot 13 times and hit only four.

He had his two year old daughter in the care at the time.

13 shots fired in road rage incident on I-95 in N.Va

WOODBRIDGE -- Virginia State Police say a 25-year-old Woodbridge man fired more than a dozen shots in a road rage incident on Interstate 95 in Prince William County.

After a dump truck merged onto southbound I-95 from Route 123 around 4 p.m. yesterday, police say the driver and the driver of a Jaguar engaged each other aggressively. Police say the dump truck hit the Jaguar twice and both ended up against the shoulder wall.

Police say Gabriel Poventud got out of the Jaguar and fired 13 shots, hitting the dump truck four times as it drove away. Poventud followed, but both were pulled over.

Poventud, whose 2-year-old daughter was in the Jaguar, is charged with child endangerment, attempted homicide and weapons charges. The dump truck driver, 44-year-old James Bringham of Woodbridge, is charged with reckless driving.

No injuries were reported.

1. Why did the dump truck hit him?

Something is amiss here. If the dump truck driver hit the much smaller car on purpose...twice, then there needs to be another arrest.

3. The dump driver was charged with reckless driving

He wasn't innocent

4. You're right.

I obviously glossed over that in the article, which I swear I did read.

It's late. I'm blaming that.

6. Heh!

Okay. Sure. :hi:

2. This isn't news.

Stuff like this happens all the time in Jacksonville, although the baby in the car is a not as common.

7. I understand. LOL!.....I used to live in Jax before I moved to St. Petersburg.

I just had to get "out of that place".

St Pete is no Liberal mecca but the ratio to rednecks/sane people... is a way better. :) :)

Plus our paper (St Petersburg Times) is wonderful.

8. LOVE your paper...read it online all the time!

My favorite local online site is metrojacksonville.com--there's quite a few progressives on there, unlike the others.

Yes, Jax can be very exciting but I still go pretty much anywhere. Dh and I have an affinity for micro-breweries in some not-so-very-nice areas, LOL.

People around here try like vindictive little grandmas!

5. Sort of a "Hey,that kid's driving a Jag and I'm stuck in a dump truck " moment.
