RALEIGH, N.C. — A prosecutor said a driver accused of shooting at random cars on a North Carolina highway over the weekend is facing a federal firearms charge.
U.S. Attorney Robert J. Higdon, Jr., said Thursday that 33-year-old Franklin Joseph Dangerfield of Ladson, South Carolina, is charged with possessing an unregistered short-barrel shotgun.
Dangerfield was arrested after a high-speed chase that began Saturday evening in southern North Carolina’s Nash County and ended across the North Carolina-Virginia state line.
Higdon said one person was shot in the shoulder and another person was hit in the face by shattered glass. A deputy was also injured.
