Picard told investigators that as he was driving, the car in front of him slowed. He said a man and a woman were in the roadway and he saw the man yelling at the car in front of him and hit it with his hands, according to the affidavit.

Picard reached for his gun because he was scared, and as the man approached his opened passenger-side window, he said he fired one shot to scare the man and woman. He said he did not know if the shot hit anyone, the documents state.

Neither the man nor the woman had touched his car, he told investigators. He did not stop after the shooting or try to call 911.
