Road raging Louisiana man shoots 10-year-old in face after driver cuts him off

A Louisiana man was charged with attempted murder on Saturday after he allegedly shot a 10-year-old boy in the face during a road rage incident.

According to The Times-Picayune, 26-year-old David Sean Jackson Sr. was driving on I-10 near New Orleans with a five-month-old, a 6-year-old, and their 25-year-old mother when a red 2007 Chevrolet truck cut him off at around 2 p.m.

After the vehicles cut each other off several more times, Jackson fired at the truck “three or four times,” Kenner police spokesperson Sgt. Brian McGregor said. A bullet grazed the face of a 10-year-old boy who was inside of the pickup truck, causing bullet fragments to be sent into his sinus cavity.

The 50-year-old driver of the pickup truck “rammed” Jackson’s Acura twice to prevent Jackson from escaping, WDSU reported.

Police caught up with the two vehicles, and Jackson was charged with attempted second degree murder, and aggravated criminal damage to property. He also faces charges for illegal possession of a firearm by a felon, illegal carrying of weapons and possession with the intent to distribute 19 grams of crack cocaine, and multiple traffic violations.

Doesn't sound like either driver should hold a driver's license. One guy shoots the other guy's 10 year old, the other rams a car with a 5 month old and a 6 year old in it?

I hope they both get their licenses yanked, in addition to whatever other legal action takes place.

...both cutting in front of one another, while driving with their families.

Yes, the shooter deserves to be charged, and he is being charged. I should think the other driver would face charges of reckless driving and child endangerment. It is not safe to play games like that on the road, regardless of whether it escalates into something else.
