    Heading home on telephone rd I'm driving behind a truck in the far right lane that was constantly tapping his brakes. i was getting frustrated because no one was in front him. and i couldn't move over to the left because there was another truck pulling a trailer blocking me in. i finally said to myself, WTF when i see the driver pull out a gun, pointed it straight at the truck on the left. it looked like the driver pulled the trigger but he must have had the safety on.

    i was in shock trying to register what just happened before i slowed down to keep a good distance. the driver drew the gun back, floored it, got ahead of the truck on the left, then fired 3 shots. i couldn't tell at that point if he was shooting back at the truck because he was too far away from my headlights. the bullets didn't seem to hit anything.

    the car behind me was probably wondering what the hell was MY problem because i was driving at a snail's pace. anyhow, the truck turned on the next intersection and hauled ass away.

    i think i've had enough excitement to last the month.

    Wow that must've been something to see!

    In a similar incident, I saw a massive pickup truck hightail it on Richmond near Fountain View after pointing a shotgun out its window at an Escalade in the far right lane. Both cars had Mexican plates (Tamaulipas, which is a border state steeped in drug violence). The Escalade chased after the truck probably at speeds of 60-70 mph.

    Damn, bruh. You should have filmed it and put it on WorldStarHipHop while simultaneously yelling WSHH! in the background.

    Something similar happened when I was last in Houston.

    Hammerly and Brittmore intersection.

    A guy driving an Escalade truck started driving through the intersection turning onto hammerly and pulled out a gun and held it sideways pointing at the SUV in front of me....thank god no shots were fired....looked more like a warning of some type.

    Was it a handgun? If so, what an amateur -- those things are hard as hell to aim, especially at a moving target and while driving.

    Used to bang a chic from that area. Some of the best ass I've ever had. Would take her to palace inn on 610 and do the Wheel barrel. Good times...
