Fired at randomly while driving. The bullet missed him by an inch.

“A 27-year-old man from Forest Lake fired one bullet at a passing truck and then sped off.

Troopers caught up with him a short time later and arrested him.

The State Patrol won’t comment on why the shooting happened, but Swonger says there were no arguments or road rage between them, he claims the driver just randomly opened fire.”

when a man on the sidewalk, a complete stranger, pulled out a pistol and aimed it at me. He then smiled and put the gun back in his pocket. I drove to my brother's house a block away and called the cops. They had 3 squad cars there within 5 minutes but didn't find the guy.
