Texas man thought female drivers are 'incompetent' , sole purpose was the give birth to males [View all]

Nicholas Dagostino hated female drivers, authorities say, so much so that he shot them while they were driving.

Police in Texas linked Dagostino to two recent shootings in which women said they were shot in the arm. Both incidents happened in broad daylight, within a few miles of each other in the Katy area of Harris County, west of Houston. And both involved a suspect — Dagostino — who claimed he shot the women in self-defense, according to criminal complaints.

But social media ramblings indicate that Dagostino “held a very dim view of women,” believed female drivers are “incompetent,” and that their sole purpose “is to give birth to male children,” investigators wrote in court documents.

Dagostino, 29, is facing two felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.



The most recent shooting happened on July 10, at a carwash in Katy. The victim told police that she was pulling into the carwash when she heard a noise and saw that her driver’s-side window was cracked. She assumed it had been hit by a rock, but she later saw blood dripping down her arm, court records say.
