RUSK COUNTY, Texas—A man has been arrested following a high-speed chase after he allegedly shot at another man's truck following a verbal altercation at a convenience store.
On Friday morning, August 29, the Rusk County Sheriff's Office received a call about a shooting at Bunny's convenience store at the intersection of Hwy. 64 and Hwy. 42. A caller reported that a man driving a black four-door car had fired several rounds into his truck.
According to the victim, he and the suspect had a verbal altercation inside the store. The suspect then waited outside, and as the victim drove away and stopped at a stop sign, the suspect shot into his truck before fleeing the scene.
