Florida – Two children shot during Nassau County road rage incident, fathers are charged with attempted murder
Two children were rushed to the hospital after being shot Saturday on U.S. 1 after their fathers were shooting at each other during a road rage incident.
October 10, 2022
NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. — A 5-year-old girl was shot in the leg and a 14-year-old girl was shot in the back Saturday while riding in separate vehicles on U.S. 1 in Callahan just after 6 p.m. Their injuries were the result of their fathers shooting at each other during a road rage incident, Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said Monday during a news conference.
“What is scarier than one crazy driver with a gun? Two crazy drivers with a gun,” Leeper said.
The drivers the sheriff was referring to are William Hale, 36, and Frank Allison, 43.Both men are charged with attempted murder. They didn’t know each other before the incident that a witness described as a “cat and mouse game,” Leeper said. The witness told a 911 operator that the men were driving erratically and “brake-checking” each other. That’s when a driver gets in front of another vehicle and applies the brakes.
The sheriff said a black Dodge Ram with five occupants driven by Hale of Douglas, Ga. pulled up along side the grey Nissan Murano driven by Allison of Callahan and began shouting at him to pull over.
The right front passenger in the Nissan put her hand out of the window and “flipped off” the Dodge Ram with her middle finger, Leeper said. A plastic water bottle was then tossed from the Dodge Ram into the Nissan.
Allison then grabbed his Sig Saur 45mm handgun and fired one shot at Hale’s truck before speeding away, Leeper said. The bullet went through the right rear door hitting the 5 year old in the leg.
Hale told authorities he realized his daughter was shot after Allison sped off. Hale pursued the Nissan and began firing several shots from his Glock 43 9mm handgun out of the driver’s window with his left hand, Leeper said adding that the shooter emptied the clip.
Three rounds hit the Nissan with one of the bullets going through the rear of the car striking a 14-year-old girl in the back causing her lung to collapse.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2022 – The woman’s vehicle was struck seven times, according to the sheriff’s office, but she was not injured.He said he fired several rounds into the vehicle trying to hit its tires and disable it.The man faces multiple charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm from a vehicle and shooting into an occupied vehicle, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies brought him to the Volusia County Branch Jail and he was given a bond of $40,000.
In September 2021, Texas enacted its ‘Constitutional Carry’ law. Below is a example of what has occured since then.

You can waste your time, money and the loss of your sense of welbeing by attending a concealed carry class conducted in a rented hotel room or . . .
You can attend a class the both qualifies you for applying for a Florida concealed carry license and trains you in the use of a firearm to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones
What those who conduct ‘concealed carry’ classes do not want you to know: In Florida . . .
NO license is required to purchase or own a firearm.
NO license is required to transport a loaded firearm in your vehicle. (However, one must know how to do so legally.)
NO license is required to use a firearm to defend your life and home.
NO license is required to take a firearms training course to learn how to use a firearm.
Why do we inform you of this?
We are not in the ‘concealed carry class’ business. Rather,we are a non-profit organization that conducts self-defense, firearms training. We want you to be trained in the safe handling, use and storage of your firearm.
Unless specifically stated that firearm/handgun training is included, NO firearm/handgun training is conducted in a ‘concealed carry‘ class. Basically, NO ‘concealed carry‘ class includes any significant handgun training.
Possessing a concealed carry license does not mean you are trained to carry a deadly weapon in public. Rather, it only demonstrates that you paid the State of Florida $97 and passed a background check.
We want you to be trained in the handling, use and firing of a firearm for the defense of your life and the lives of your loved ones.
All our firearms training classes exceed the training requirements for applying for a Florida concealed carry license. Upon successful completion of any of our firearms training classes, an official certificate of training is issued good for applying for a Florida concealed carry weapons license. No other class or training is required for applying for a Florida license recognized in 37 states.
Even if you do not possess a concealed carry license or you never intend to apply for one, allow us to train you in the purchasing, handling, use, firing and storage of your firearm.
There is more to owning and using a gun than just knowing how to pull a trigger.
Not all concealed carry classes are alike.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, “concealed carry classes” do NOT teach how to handle and use a handgun.
They do NOT teach:
the handling of a handgun
the firing of a handgun
the loading, unloading and reloading of a handgun
how manage handgun malfunfunctions
To learn the techniques listed above, you have to take a handgun/pistol training class.
Maybe you or someone you know already took a concealed carry class.Did it look like this . . .
or like this?
If the “concealed carry” class you took did not include a trip the the range and the firing of a real handgun, using live ammunition, firing a minimum of 50 rounds, you attended a certificate mill class, that in all likelyhood, was more of an insurance sales seminar, not a handgun training class.
There is more to owning and using a gun than just knowing how to pull a trigger.
Others conduct classes to qualify people to apply for a concealed carry license. We conduct classes to not only to qualify people to apply for a concealed carrry license, we train people to carry a firearm in public.
We don’t want to train everyone who wants a concealed carry license. We only want to train those who are serious about learning how to defend their life and the lives of their loved ones.
If your concealed carry class did not look like the photos above, you may want to contact us for real, concealed carry, handgun training. Training that prepares you to defend your life and the lives of your loved ones.
