LYNN, Mass., Aug. 4 (UPI) -- A Lynn, Mass., man was arraigned Thursday for allegedly shooting a woman and her teenaged son in the second case of road rage in the state in two days.

Lynn police charged William Green, 55, with two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a firearm; two counts of armed assault with intent to murder; and with firing a gun within 100 feet of a residence.

Investigators said the motorists in the two cars had been feuding for several blocks Wednesday. At a stop sign, the teenager allegedly spat at the other car, after which the driver got out of his car, threatened, and ultimately shot the two victims, the Boston Globe reported.

Gregory Umphrey, 17, and his mother, 52-year-old Linda Umphrey of Lynn, were both in fair condition with undisclosed injuries Thursday.

Tuesday, after a heated traffic dispute in Brockton, a 60-year-old man allegedly hunted down and fatally shot a 27-year-old driver, who had been holding an infant in his arms.
