Kansas Man Arrested In Road Rage Shooting Death

(AP) – A St. Louis man is dead and a Kansas man is in a Texas Panhandle jail after what deputies say was a road rage shooting.

The dead man is identified as 65-year-old William Thompson Nardin. Carson County Sheriff Tam Terry says 81-year-old William G. Franklin of Wellsville, Kan., was arraigned Tuesday and remains in the Carson County Jail in lieu of a $75,000 cash bond.

The incident happened just off Interstate 40 about 3:30 p.m. Monday in Groom, about 40 miles east of Amarillo. Terry said Nardin’s car was sideswiped by Franklin’s pickup truck, and he confronted Franklin at his driver’s side window outside a convenience store. Terry said gunshots were fired from inside the truck cab, striking Nardin.

A message for Franklin’s attorney, James Mosley of Borger, wasn’t returned.
