Investigators say the incident began as both vehicles—a silver Audi driven by Johnson and a dark-colored Toyota Prius—were traveling west on the 400 block of West Hamilton Street. As they crossed 5th Street, Johnson allegedly forced the Prius to the curb and stopped. He then exited his vehicle carrying a metal bat resembling those used in baseball training and struck the driver's side door of the Prius.
The driver of the Prius, who possesses a valid license to carry, fired a single round from a 9mm handgun, striking Johnson in the torso. The shooter then drove approximately one and a half blocks away, pulled over, and called 911. He remained at the scene and cooperated with authorities. No charges have been filed as of Monday, and the investigation is ongoing to determine if the shooting was justified as self-defense.
