The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a road-rage incident after a driver pulled out a gun and fired at another driver on Interstate 95.
Michael Allen Shepherd, 49, of Jupiter has been charged with aggravated assault with a weapon, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, and discharging a firearm into a vehicle.
Investigators say Shepherd fired a semi-automatic handgun.
The drivers came to a stop outside the VA Medical Center at West Blue Heron Boulevard and the Beeline Highway.

The truck driver then "brake-checked" and prompted the SUV driver to pull out a gun and fire a shot, FHP said.
Both then stopped on Blue Heron where the driver of the SUV was arrested.
FHP Sgt. Mark Wysocky said no one was injured in the incident. “We’ve had several road rage incidents over the last couple months. It’s very tragic that things have to escalate to where people fire guns at people especially while they’re driving on an interstate where if the subject would have been shot who knows what could have happened. They could have ran (sic) off the road hit several other vehicles and more people could have sustained injuries or death.”
