According to the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office, the 911 Dispatch Center received a call from a driver on U.S. Highway 14 around 6:30 p.m. on Friday in the Town of Franklin that while following another vehicle, a motorist used a firearm multiple times from their car.
The caller was no longer following but tried to describe the vehicle. Another call indicated five minutes later that a car contacted the back of the second caller’s vehicle. The second caller revealed that he had at least one firearm in the car, and waited at a nearby store to file a report.
