It's only the second day of school for Knox County, and already traffic is putting people on edge.

Police said

all because of road rage.

Local 8 News anchor Lauren Davis spoke with the man who was wounded.

The victim, Charles Dunaway of Mascot, told Lauren that he's out of the hospital with minor injuries. He said he thinks the man shot the ground and shrapnel from the ground penetrated his leg. He had an X-Ray at UT Medical Center and said it shows something inside his leg, but he's not sure if it's bullet fragments or not.

Dunaway said he got out of his car to go talk to the driver of the van, and the man pointed a gun at his face and said to him, "You better back up!"

Then, he said the man fired the gun at his feet before speeding off and clipping Dunaway's arm with his mirror. Dunaway told Lauren there were witnesses on scene who called 911.

Dunaway said he did not want to speak on camera following the incident.

Knoxville Police Spokesperson Darrell DeBusk said, "The driver of the Odyssey fired, striking the pickup at least twice or three times, striking the driver once, maybe twice."

It all started when a van slammed on his breaks.

"The driver of a pick-up slammed on their brakes and made an evasive move to the left, which took him into the median," said DeBusk. "Luckily, he was able to keep it from flipping his truck."

Tonya Breedlove was in the area at the same time, taking her 11-year-old son to school at Holston Middle.

"That's what makes me mad, is me and him could be going to school on the second day of school, and me and him could've been right in the middle of the target," said Breedlove.

KPD said there were two kids in the back of the van who witnessed the whole thing.

"The guy in the van, you just put an image that will never leave their minds, but you just about put me and my kid in the middle of it also," said Breedlove.

Now, police are on the lookout for the man in the van.

As for the victim, he said that if the guy was crazy enough to pull a gun on him and shoot him, he's just going to leave it be.

Police are looking for a gray Honda Odyssey van. The driver was a white man, and there was an adult woman in the front passenger seat along with the kids in the back.
