However, only two of the men are facing charges. No one was seriously injured in the incident. BRADENTON, Fla. - Two people are facing charges in a Florida road rage incident over a turn signal that led to a shooting and a man being hit with an SUV earlier this week, deputies say. What we know At around 3:23 p.m. on June 2, the Bradenton Police Department said it received multiple 911 calls regarding a shooting and traffic crash in the Riverwalk parking lot on Riverfront Boulevard. Officials said 33-year-old Raesean Poole was driving a Jeep and waiting to turn left out of the parking lot at 101 Riverfront Boulevard. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Antony Williams was driving a Buick east on Riverfront Boulevard and turned left into the parking lot in front of Poole. Williams parked his vehicle, and Poole backed up to confront him about not using a turn signal, authorities said. Williams and a 16-year-old passenger exited the Buick. Poole told police that during the confrontation Williams showed him a gun. CCTV video shows Poole began to drive away several times, but repeatedly stopped and continued arguing with Williams. During the final confrontation, officials said Poole turned onto Riverfront Boulevard, reversed and accelerated toward Williams. Poole hit a stop sign and a tree before then striking Williams in the leg. In response, the 16-year-old retrieved a gun and fired into Poole's Jeep. Authorities said all three men were arrested shortly after the incident. Poole is charged with aggravated battery with a motor vehicle, and the teen is charged with aggravated assault with a firearm. Officials say Williams currently does not face any charges in the case, and he was not seriously injured. FOX 35 is choosing not to name or show a picture of the 16-year-old involved in the investigation, as he is a minor. What's next Authorities say the investigation remains active and ongoing.

Police seek boy struck by car while riding e-scooter in Mission, B.C., Monday
Mounties says DNA testing has confirmed remains that washed ashore in Washington State nearly 17 years ago are those of a teenager who went missing from Mission, B.C., in 2007. The RCMP logo is seen in Surrey, B.C., on Thursday, March 16, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck Police are hoping to identify and ensure the welfare of a boy who was struck by a car while riding his e-scooter in Mission, B.C., Monday morning. The boy had been travelling on the sidewalk when he collided with a driver turning into the parking lot of Mission Secondary School around 8:30 a.m., Mission RCMP said in a statement. While the driver remained at the scene and spoke with police, the boy left before he could be identified. 'The boy reportedly struck the hood area of the car and flew a considerable distance off his scooter, but got up on his own and carried on his way,' the statement said. Officers have contacted various local elementary and middle schools to identify the boy, described by police as being 12 to 14 years old and wearing a grey or black hoodie with red writing on it, but have so far been unsuccessful. Parents whose child meets this description are advised to check whether the boy needs medical attention, before contacting the Mission RCMP with information regarding the incident. 'Police want to ensure he is OK, and to get more information from him about what happened,' Mounties said. Parents or any other witnesses with information relating to the event are asked to contact police at 604-826-7161, and quote file number 25-6339.

Drew Harris calls for road safety 'reset' after officer's death
Garda Commissioner (head of the Irish police force) Drew Harris has called for "a real reset" when it comes to road safety. It follows the death of Garda Kevin Flatley, 49, on Sunday whilst carrying out a speed checkpoint in County Dublin. Garda Flatley died at the scene after he was hit by a motorcyclist in Lanestown, in the north of the county, shortly before 13:00 local time on Sunday. A motorcyclist, a man in his 30s, was seriously injured in the incident and has been taken to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin where his condition is described as critical. Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, Mr Harris said it was a "desperately sad day for An Garda Síochána". Mr Harris confirmed that investigations are ongoing into his death. He highlighted "the dangers there are for those who engage in road policing". Irish broadcaster RTÉ reported that another garda member was also hit by a motorcycle in Coolock and broke his leg on Sunday. RTÉ reported one man was arrested. A third Garda was also injured on duty last week when he was hit by a car. The Commissioner said that "this is a regular occurrence". "The dangers our members are facing is just extraordinary. "I acknowledge the tougher sentences that have been put in place by the government, but also this does call for a real reset and rethink about our approach as a society in terms of road safety. "We know what causes dangers on the road," he said. "Every one of us has a responsibility when we go out on the road. Our roads are busy, they are not a place for dangerous driving." Gardaí also renewed their appeal for information and dash cam footage. The Commissioner said a number of people had come forward but they were still seeking information on the movements of the R1 Yamaha Motorcycle from around midday on Sunday, in the hour before Garda Flatley was killed. The GAA club in Balbriggan of which Garda Flatley and his family were members have paid tribute to him. In a statement the club said: "Kevin was an absolute gentleman who had a huge part to play in our club, always lending a hand when he could. He was always a pleasure to chat to, and his grá (love) for GAA and helping others shone through in every conversation. "He was a dedicated coach with our u10 girls team, encouraging the players at all times and bringing great energy," the statement said. They extended their "deepest of condolences" to Garda Flatley's family.
