Video of the shooting showed two cars locked in a dangerous confrontation on Route 138. The driver of a blue car bumped a gray car, causing it to spin out of control into a snowbank. Someone then got out of the gray car and opened fire on the blue car.
Eventually, everyone fled the scene. Canton police said they found both rented vehicles abandoned in different locations around town. But for two months, no arrests were made.
