ROAD RAGE: COWBOY AND INDIANS IN AUTOMOBILES
Reported by the Charleston newspapers:
What started as a road rage incident on Charleston's West Side apparently led to two separate instances of gunfire in
the city.
The incidents were set in motion about 5 p.m. Monday when passengers in one car fired on another car on the 800
block of Hendrix Avenue, said Charleston Police Sgt. Brent Webster. He said it's unclear if the passengers in the car
that was under fire shot back.
Police think the confrontation started after one car cut in front of the other vehicle.
One of the groups involved then drove to the 2600 block of Sixth Avenue and fired at least nine shots, Webster said.
Two shell casings were recovered around a home and seven casings were recovered in the street near the
residence.
No one was injured, but Webster said people were outside when shots were fired.
"It's all connected," he said of the two incidents.

FORMER SUSPECT CUTS DEAL WITH FEDS
Federal prosecutors have struck a deal with forty-six-year-old Brian Caldwell, a Winifrede, Kanawha County man who
was questioned in last summer's sniper-style shootings. He will reportedly plead guilty to unrelated gun charges.
Caldwell will plead guilty to illegal possession of a firearm while being judged mentally defective.
Police questioned Caldwell in last summer's sniper shootings in which three people were killed.
The federal firearm charges stem from at least two unrelated alleged shooting incidents, one involving firing shots into
another vehicle and another shooting at a natural gas pipeline.
