HAZELWOOD, Mo. (AP) - A road rage incident in eastern Missouri ended in two drivers shooting at one another on an interstate ramp, with one being injured by flying glass from a shattered window and the other driver being arrested, police said.

The incident happened Wednesday afternoon when officers were called to the northbound Interstate 170 ramp onto westbound I-270, Hazelwood police said. Police were initially called for a person with a gunshot wound, but later discovered a woman who had been injured by flying glass. She was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Investigators said the woman and another driver - identified as Gerald Fels, 40, of Florissant - argued before both eventually fired shots at each other.



Fels was later arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault and armed criminal action. He was being held in the St. Louis County Jail on $30,000 bond.
