'Thankfully, no one was killed in this incident, but it could have easily turned out that way because two people were acting stupid and let their tempers get the best of them,' the county sheriff said.
Two fathers who got in what police say was a road-rage fight in Florida last fall exchanged gunfire and ended up shooting each other's daughters.
Both men have different stories about how the confrontation started but both agree that it was fueled by road rage, that they were brake-checking each other, driving too fast and that Allison's wife flipped off the Hales, according to police records obtained by USA TODAY. That's when Allison grabbed his gun and fired, hitting Hale's 5-year-old daughter in the lower leg. Allison later told police he was aiming at the lower rear truck bed.So Hale grabbed his own gun from his center console and emptied the Glock 43, firing seven to eight rounds at Williams' car, Hale told police."It hurts!" Williams' daughter yelled on bodycam footage of the incident.Both girls were treated for their injuries later at local hospitals and survived.
Allison is protected from being charged himself under Florida's Stand Your Ground Law, according to the Nassau County State's Attorney's Office. This screenshot shows some of the conclusions by the Nassau County State's Attorney's Office about why Frank Allison shouldn't be charged.
