Driver charged with attempted murder after reportedly shooting during road rage incident in Maryland

Maryland State Troopers say 37-year-old Bryant Paradine of Littlestown, Pennsylvania, shot through another driver's car shortly after 7:30 a.m. in the area of southbound US15 at Tippin Drive. Troopers responded to a call made by the victim, who was uninjured in the road rage incident.

The victim described the shooter's vehicle as a maroon Chevrolet SUV with Pennsylvania tags. A police lookout was able to identify the suspected vehicle and found it parked unoccupied outside a business in Thurmont, Maryland. Investigators say they located the driver, later identified as Paradine, inside the business and executed a search warrant on his vehicle.

Police say they recovered a loaded 9 mm handgun and a spent shell casing of the same caliber. Paradine is currently charged with attempted murder, use of a gun in the commission of a felony, and other related offenses. He was arrested, transported to the Maryland State Police Frederick Barrack for processing, and is now awaiting an initial appearance before a district court commissioner.
