Not sure where to put this - I assume it'll be a legal problem for the shooter once he/she is caught, assuming the police find him/her before the bikers do.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. - A motorist opened fire on a group of Hell’s Angels motorcyclists along Interstate 95 on Sunday, killing one and injuring another, police said.

The bikers were traveling near West Haven around 3:30 p.m. when they were shot, said State Police spokesman Sgt. J. Paul Vance.

Police were considering a number of possible motives including road rage, and were searching for a sport utility vehicle with Florida license plates, Vance said.

Roger Mariani, 61, of Stratford, pulled over before realizing he had been shot in the upper torso, Vance said. He later died at the Yale-New Haven Hospital.

Paul Carrol, 37, of Bridgeport, who was grazed by a bullet, was treated at the hospital and released, Vance said.
 
it's generally considered unwise to just start shooting at bikers. Bad idea to just start shooting at anybody, but bikers kinda take this stuff seriously, and won't necessarily wait for the gears of justice to grind along. Can't wait to hear more of the story (like MOTIVE)...
 
Regardless of the motives of the shooter, if the bikers are real Hell's Angels, they'll dispense their own justice, assuming that they find the shooter before he/she's incarcerated. Even if the shooter's jailed, he/she won't be safe.
