ODESSA, Fla. — Authorities say a 34-year-old southwest Florida man shot a teenager in an apparent road rage incident and then killed himself.

Pasco Sheriff's deputies say the unidentified driver got angry when a 17-year-old driver did not pull up far enough at a stop sign. The man shot the teen, hitting him twice in the leg. The shooter then turned the gun on himself, killing himself inside his car.

Authorities do not believe the two knew each other before the shooting. The investigation continues. The teen was taken to the hospital. His condition is not known.

yeah, no doubt, got lost in the latest great bicycle debate
easy to miss...

I see the faux news story doesn't say anything about him wearing body armor and going out to kill cops.

The Tampa Bay Observer has a more detailed account now: http://www2.tbo.com/content/2009/aug/09 ... -breaking/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The incident occurred on Gunn Highway.

It's not unusual for the national networks to trim details out of a story. In this case, it looks like Fox News just took the first couple of sentences from what went out on the wire.
