A worker removing snow in the parking lot of a Michigan apartment complex was shot at by an irate resident for doing his job. The worker told the man: 'I'll move the snow, please don't shoot me' to no avail.
According to mLive, Pittsfield Township police Deputy Chief Gordy Schick said the man was upset because the snow wasn't being removed from around his wife's vehicle.
A release sent out by police later on Tuesday stated the man was mad because snow had been placed around the car, preventing him from getting it out.
The 39-year-old Pittsfield Township man confronted the snowplow driver.
“He pointed the handgun at the snowplow and fired a shot into the window,” Schick said.
The windshield shattered, but the driver was unharmed. Just one shot was fired.
The assailant surrendered to police and is currently being held at the Washtenaw County Jail. Depending on which way the prosecutor's office decides to file, the man could be charged with assault with intent to murder. That is snow fun!
