The incident happened on October 17th at around 3:00 p.m. in Platte County, Missouri.

According to Fox 4 KC News, a semi truck was traveling along Interstate 29 north of Platte City when a motorist pulled up alongside the rig wielding a gun. No shots were fired and the motorist then drove away but police were called and were able to locate the motorist at Highway 92 and Kentucky Avenue.
