A suspect in an apparent road rage shooting in Security is now facing several charges including four counts of attempted murder.

Deputies responded to the incident just after 8 p.m. Thursday outside of Shots Tavern at 1831 Main Street. An El Paso County Sheriff's Office deputy happened to be in the area and heard several shots being fired. Once she got to the scene, she found the suspect thanks to witness identification and detained him.

On Friday morning, he was identified as 51-year-old Randall Hamilton.

Originally, the sheriff's office had information that two people may have been shot. During the course of the investigation, they discovered no one was actually hit by gunfire.

Jackie Kirby, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office, first said the shooting may have started as a road rage incident.

"The suspect did start shooting at the vehicle with the two adults and the two children inside of it, so it is possible the suspect could be looking at four counts of attempted murder," Kirby said at the scene.

Further investigation by deputies elaborated on that by revealing the car with the children inside was heading down Highway 85/87 in Fountain. They said Hamilton cut them off while riding his motorcycle erratically toward Security.

The sheriff's office said Hamilton then pulled into the tavern parking lot, with the vehicle following. Deputies say that's when one of the adults from the car stepped outside the vehicle to confront him.

When everyone was back inside the car, deputies say Hamilton allegedly pulled out a firearm and shot at the back of the car and the driver's side as they were leaving. The people inside were hit by broken glass but weren't injured.

Hamilton now faces four charges of attempted murder, child abuse and prohibited use of a weapon. He remains in jail on a $20,000 bond.
