A maniac is on the loose after he gunned down two people with an AR-15 in the middle of Houston rush-hour traffic — and then bolted in his car, with a trash bag full of weed inside, according to a new report.

The chaos unfolded just before 6 p.m. Thursday on eastbound Interstate 10, when the shooter and another person in his sedan struck another vehicle, causing it to spin out, local outlet ABC 13 reported.

Both suspects got out of the car — and one of them opened fire, according to the report.

“A Hispanic male, tan shirt, holding a really big gun, shooting at another car,” a police dispatcher said.

Assistant Chief Bobby Dobbins of the Houston Police Department told the station a witness caught a glimpse of the weapon.

Not a white male so I predict this story will rapidly disappear from the news.

Now come the calls to ban “really big guns”

Al Bundy is hiding his stash.

Supposed to smoke it before grabbing the gun.

No doubt an intergalactic background check would have prevented this. No, really. Facts over truth. Or truth over facts.......?

He’s only a “maniac” if he’s driving too fast.

If he’s driving too slow, he’s an “idiot”.

With apologies to the late George Carlin.

So let’s see:

1. Purposely hits the car causing it to spin out. Sounds like some approximation of a PIT maneuver to me.
2. Spills out with a rifle ready to shoot before the other car stops moving.
3. Garbage bag full of marijuana.

Sure sounds like a random accident or road rage. (Probably Trump supporters) Definitely not gang related.

Most of these jerks wouldn’t recognize an AR (Armalite Rifle) if you handed it to them.

Breathlessly report every story and the public thinks it’s common.

Want to get rid of cars? Just breathlessly report every traffic death in the country.
Reporter: “Yet another innocent child killed in a senseless accident...” 100 times a day.
