LAKELAND â Three men in a speeding car fired shots at another vehicle as they passed it Saturday afternoon on Interstate 4 at Branch Forbes Road, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
No one was injured. Troopers stopped and arrested the three soon afterward at the I-4 Polk County Rest Area, about 30 miles east of the shooting scene. At least one of the guns had been stolen. Each man told troopers he had fired in self-defense.
