TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A man was arrested Tuesday night for his alleged involvement in a road rage shooting in Tampa that left a 4-year-old girl injured, according to the Tampa Police Department.
James Jackson, 34, was allegedly driving in the 3000 block of North 50th Street when he “became irate” with the woman driver of a white Chevrolet sedan, police said. Jackson allegedly fired multiple shots at the other car, which had a 4-year-old girl, an 8-year-old girl, and a man in his 20s inside.
