it's the heart stopping moment shots
ring out on a busy Miami
Highway video of the dangerous road rage
incident was just released to the
public the video starts with Eric popper
a civilian fire inspector looking
relaxed and
singing next police say the 30-year-old
cuts off another car oh my God you can
hear the other driver honking his horn
popper glares at the rearview mirror he
says the other driver is tailgating and
making obscene hand gestures moments
later popper opens his center console
and carefully removes a handgun when the
other vehicle pulls up popper opens
fire cops say he fired 11 times if you
look closely you can see the other
driver apparently throwing a water
bottle at the car popper says he thought
he was being fired upon and was acting
in self-defense that's
