Video After The Jump
A Florida man was arrested after he allegedly opened fire during a road-rage shooting in June & authorities from Miami-Dade released chilling new dashcam footage of the incident.
The June 21 incident occurred on I-95 in northwest Miami-Dade after it is believed Eric Popper, the man arrested, cut off another driver. The other driver, who was not identified, tailgated Popper, & hand gestures between the 2 were exchanged.
State troopers and Popper's lawyer disagree on what happened next.
Robert Gershman, the 30-year-old's lawyer, says the video is proof that his client was shot at first & he returned fire in self-defense.
"On the video, you can hear & see the other driver shoot his car," Gershman said, pointing out that his client heard the sound prior to shooting.
The driver of the Camry did not have a gun in his vehicle but admitted to throwing a water bottle at Popper’s SUV, investigators said. Popper fired the gun 11 times at the other driver, through his own window & windshield.
Popper pulled off the highway and called law enforcement. He later turned himself in to the Florida Highway Patrol, provided the dashcam video & resigned from his job as a civilian fire inspector with Miami Beach Fire Rescue.
