Turner tried to pull him out of the truck through an open window. Investigators say the driver, who was a licensed gun owner, pulled out his firearm and fired one shot at Turner. “We got a caller on the line. Advises that they had shot someone. That a male had come up and started punching him in the front seat of his truck so he shot him in the chest,” voices over law enforcement radio said, according to WESH 2.com. The attack was unprovoked, as per reports.
