Huntington , Cabell County , West Virginia

Two people are arrested after shots are allegedly fired at a vehicle in broad daylight Tuesday afternoon.

Troopers tell us it all started around 1pm at a car wash on 16th Street Road in Huntington. From there, we're told the driver of two vehicles -- a Nissan Maxima, and a Chevy Blazer were involved in road rage - reportedly ramming one another - and then took off.

It didn't take troopers long to catch up with those involved. The Blazer ended up at the Rich Oil Station, in the 3600 block of 16th Street Road, and the Maxima headed to Toppings Court off of Norwood Road, also in Huntington.

Neighbors in Toppings Court tell Eyewitness News that the suspect and driver of the Maxima is Rob Taylor. They tell us Taylor lives in that area. Troopers say Taylor allegedly fired a round at the Chevy Blazer, which had three people inside at the time. He is charged with wanton endangerment and attempted murder.

Troopers tell us the driver of the Blazer, Bill Legrand has also been arrested. No word on what charges he faces just yet.

Stay tuned to Eyewitness News for more details.
