A story is developing in Florida. It appears to be another case where the video shows a completely different story from what the police originally reported. Christian Gunter is the motorcyclist.
Note that he is wearing a full face helmet and what appears to be a complete motorcycle outfit, including jacket and pants.
This picture is a screenshot from surveillance video, just after the shooting.
The red car in the upper right is the car that the person who was shot, Roger Atlas, arrived in.
Roger is wearing a green upper garment in the video below.
Here is the early report from Sarasota County Sheriff facebook.com:
The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office arrested a 22-year-old man following a road rage incident that escalated into a shooting around 6:15 p.m., tonight. Christian Gunter, DOB 12/29/92, 4216 Charing Cross Rd., Sarasota, was driving his motorcycle south on US 41 just south of Bee Ridge Road when he was in a confrontation with 59-year-old Roger Atlas, who was driving a red Ford Taurus. The two pulled over and the verbal argument turned physical, prompting Gunter to pull out a handgun and shoot Atlas in the abdomen. Atlas was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Gunter was arrested and charged with Aggravated Battery with a Firearm. (Mug shot not available at time of post.)
The person shot, Roger Atlas, gave this story. From wtsp.com:
According to the arrest affidavit, Atlas said he told Gunter his vehicle was having trouble and possible overheating and to mind his own business. When the light turned green, Atlas started driving and Gunter pulled up behind him.

No, because the video gets the hits. So they benefit by having people made aware that the video exists.
Having a bad day are we??
Geezuz.

Methinks Humblegunner makes a lot of money off of copyrights!
Would have been cool to accidentally pull the nozzle out fast and turn to the perp to ask what's going on.
marktwain is not a blog pimp.
cant tell if he went back and shot again, or if the shooting was the first encounter. makes a great difference.
