IRONDALE, AL (WBRC) -

Irondale Police are looking for a driver who they said fired shots at a vehicle with two children inside. It appears to be a road rage incident.

It happened Sunday afternoon on I-20 West just before the I-459 exit.

"We had a road situation that was really minor at first," said Sgt. Michael Mangina.

Investigators say the driver of a new, white Audi A7 cut off the SUV on the interstate. The dad driving the SUV, with his two children in it, honked at the Audi.

A few minutes later the driver of the Audi fired four to five shots into the SUV, luckily missing the dad and his eight and 10-year-old children.

"When I first heard the first pop, I was like, "What was that?" And then I heard a second pop explode.  I already knew we were getting shot at," said the father.

He said he and his daughter ducked and immediately pulled over. 

"I don"t know how with three bodies in the car, five bullet shots roughly, and nobody was hit," he said. "I have no idea how none of us got hit."

The father said this scary incident is not only going to change the way he drives, but he also hopes it is a reminder for you before you get behind the wheel. 

" You never know what"s going to set somebody off and they"re going to want to take your life for no real reason," he said. 

If you have any information about the car, or the person or people inside it, call police. 

"People have got to stop being stupid. We cannot have this on our interstate. We will not have this on our interstate. We got to be courteous drivers. We have to stop resorting to a firearm when we get mad. It"s ridiculous," continued Mangina.

Nothing is worse than being the butt of someone’s joke… unless, of course, you like that sort of thing, which might also make you that special person who enjoys making your own friends feel stupid for simply existing. Well, maybe not that vicious, but it does take a certain kind of person to be the one who pranks others. For the funny zodiac signs, they don’t mind making jokes at someone else’s expense. And according to astrology, there are certain signs who take pride in being jokesters. Whether or not you follow horoscopes, there is a thing called  schadenfreude , which means to take joy in the pain or humiliation of others. For some, this is a form of entertainment. Practical jokes and practical jokers are both wanted and unwanted. Why som

Scaptia beyonceae . Crikey steveirwini . These are the scientific names of just a few of the nearly 25,000 species of plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms discovered and named in Australia in the past decade. In each case, the honoured celebrity’s name is Latinised and added to the name of an existing or new genus – a set of closely related species that share common characteristics. In the above examples, Microleo (meaning “tiny lion”) is a genus of extinct carnivorous possums, while Scaptia is a genus of colourful horseflies. And in the case of Crikey steveirwini , a rare snail from northern Queensland, even the genus name honours Irwin, in the form of his favoured colloquialism. Read more: It’s

The Onion"s chief: Nothing funny about taking away kids from parents

Image
Over the past 20 years, Chad Nackers has seen the rise of hypocritical statements, those irony-free assertions in which the entire universe yells, “That sounds like a headline from ‘The Onion’” — but isn’t. The Onion’s editor-in-chief has always tried to mix the straight yuks with the knowing punch of satire, a similar challenge to the nation’s editorial cartoonists. “We haven’t really changed anything we do,” Nackers said in an interview Monday, “but the world has been much crazier and absurd, and that’s what people should be worried about.” Like Rob Rogers, the well-respected Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cartoonist fired after criticizing Trump, Nackers sees little humor  in the Trump administration’s separation of children from their parents along the border. (Editors’ note: The Monday afternoon effort just hurts ). “There’s nothing funny about what’s going on,” Nackers says. For The Onion, that means “it’s a satirical commentary on things, rather than ‘let’s laugh about it.’” One of its
