Lee said he pulled out in front of a black Chevy Avalanche from a gas station, and the driver cursed at him. Lee hollered back, then heard "10 pops" as bullets riddled his vehicle.

WSB reported a March road rage incident, in which a suspect pulled out a gun and cut off a driver, happened in the same general area.
