A trip to Arby’s for lunch turned into a dangerous road-rage incident Thursday in Elkhorn when a driver got out of his car with a handgun and shot the tire on another man’s pickup truck.

Colton French’s wife and 2-year-old son were in the pickup at the time. French later provided his account of what occurred to police.

French, 22, who lives in Valley, said Friday that he was headed south on 204th Street and got behind a slow-moving car. He said he turned on his blinker, moved into the left lane and went around.

The driver of a 2003 Lexus IS 300 that was behind both vehicles pulled up to French’s Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup, drove alongside for a while and then swerved toward the pickup, French said. French hit the brakes and let the car pass.

At a stoplight at 204th and Veterans Drive, French said, the car pulled up next to French’s pickup and the driver rolled down his window. French cursed at him. According to French and a police report on the incident, the driver then got out of his car holding a pistol.

“I honestly didn’t know what to think in the moment,” French said.
