Gun pointed but nobody injured in road rage incident

Region Filler

A woman reported to police Tuesday that another driver pointed a gun at her after she accidentally cut him off in traffic.

Police responded at about 11:20 a.m. to the area of State Road 37 and the State Road 45/46 bypass, Bloomington Police Department, Lt. John Kovach said. A 53-year-old woman told officers she’d been driving south on SR37 when she unintentionally cut another car off in a construction zone.

The driver of the other car, a blue, older-model two-door with possibly out-of-state plates, honked, pulled next to her and, for a moment, pointed a handgun at her. He then continued south on SR37. The woman described him as a white man in his 40s, with dark, curly hair and a beard.

Though the incident came in the same two-day span as two other incidents of drivers pointing guns in traffic, the incidents have no other similarities and do not appear to be connected.
