Colorado Springs, CO - An ongoing investigation is underway following a harrowing road rage incident that occurred near the Colorado Springs Airport on Tuesday, October 31, just before 5 p.m. Authorities were called to the scene after receiving reports of a confrontation between two drivers near Milton Proby Parkway and Peak Innovation.

According to the victim, who provided a description of the suspect's car, the altercation escalated when the suspect allegedly opened fire, with the bullet striking the front passenger side of the victim's vehicle.
