Alabama man charged with attempted murder over dent in car
PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — A man is charged with attempted murder for apparently firing a gun at a Pensacola man over a dent in the alleged shooter's car.
Authorities say 48-year-old Michael Gay pulled into a Pensacola convenience store Wednesday. When Gay's brother got out of the pickup, the passenger side door hit the fender of a car.
Gay says he apologized to the driver of the car, 23-year-old Andre Frye of Citronelle, Alabama.
Escambia County Sheriff's office says Frye then punched Gay in the mouth.
Reports say Frye went to his car, got an automatic pistol and fired two rounds at Gay.
The bullets broke the window on the truck's passenger side. No one was injured.
Frye told investigators he got his gun because he thought Gay getting one.
Frye is being held at Escambia County jail on $250,000 bond.
