The suspect then got out of his car, a gold Buick, and confronted the driver of the other car. The suspect reportedly said he was going to attack the other driver.

One of the driver's friends was following behind the two cars and pulled into the parking lot after them. The friend got out of their vehicle and tried to diffuse the argument. It didn't work.

Instead, the suspect went to the trunk of his Buick and pulled out a gun. He then started waving it around, police said.

Witnesses provided police with a license plate number, but it turned out to be the wrong license plate. Police have not yet identified the suspect.
