PUNTA GORDA, Fla. — As of late Saturday night, there was no word yet what exactly happened on the road near the US-41 bridge, that inspired someone to start shooting.
Deputies did say road rage fueled the gunfire, which continued into the city limits of Punta Gorda.
Punta Gorda's Community Correspondent Alex Orenczukgot a tip on the incident shortly after it happened and immediately began checking it out.
Deputies reported that no one was hurt, and that "all parties were accounted for."
FOX 4 also heard reports of the types of vehicles that may have been involved; we're still working to independently confirm that information with the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office.
As of late Satuday the investigation was still active, and more information was expected at a later time, per an agency spokesperson.
