A woman who didn't notice a traffic light had changed was chased by a gunman who got out of the car behind her, ABC 13 reported.
Security footage shows the man following the woman into a convenience store in Texas and pointing a gun at her multiple times. The man, allegedly 30-year-old Kevin Roth, has since been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The woman, who has not been publicly named, said the incident began on Tuesday morning when Roth honked at her when the light at a stoplight turned green. When she honked back, Roth brandished his gun, followed her and rear-ended her.
"That's when I just took off, speeding to a gas station, to a public area, because I had already seen that gun in the car. So I didn't want to just pull over like a regular car accident," the woman said, adding that Roth shouted racial slurs at her.
"I honestly didn't think he would pull a gun out in public and chase me. He was like, 'Get on the ground right now!' He could have shot me. He was aiming a gun. I could tell he was kind of scared himself. He was shaking his hand. That's why I was scared. 'I'm scared because you're scared.' He could have done anything to me just out of fear," she said.
"It was sickening," the woman's mother said. "This could have ended a lot worse. I'm thankful to God that everything didn't escalate as far as it could have (gone). That's just not OK. Guns don't belong in some people's hands, in their possessions."
"What makes matters even worse is this man lives about two miles away from us. So how do we feel protected when he lives that close?" she said.
