This is the disturbing moment a man opened fire on another vehicle during a road rage incident in southeastern Brazil.
Footage from the scene on Friday shows the victims arguing with the shooter Adriano Domingues before he blocked their path at a highway exit in Boituva, São Paulo.
Domingues then approaches the driver’s side while holding a gun behind his back.
He tells married couple William Isidoro and Gabrielle Giménez to roll down the window while they talk to 911 operators and then drives away before firing two shots at one of the tires while his wife flees.
Later, Domingues aims one shot at the windshield and another at the tire before retreating to his vehicle.

William Isidoro (left) and his wife Gabrielle Giménez (right) revealed that their vehicle was hit on the road by Adriano Domingues, who fired five shots during an argument on an outing.
Isidoro and Giménez told TV Globo that the incident caused a collision on the highway after Domingues hit the side of their car.
“He was speeding and crashed into the side of our car. We asked him to stop and when he did, he came out armed,” Gimenez said.
‘At the second stop I already contacted (911), reporting our location so they could send a patrol.’
Nayara Souza, the couple’s attorney, said Domingues banged on the passenger window as they stopped on the shoulder of the road moments before shooting them.
Domingues’ lawyer, Luiz Tucho, argued that the couple rear-ended his truck and followed him for 40 minutes while threatening him.
Authorities in the Brazilian town of Piraju confiscated the truck of Adriano Domingues, who was wanted by authorities for firing his gun at a vehicle following a road rage incident.

Authorities recovered his vehicle on Saturday at a hotel in the municipality of Piraju, 213 kilometers from where the shooting occurred.
Police searched his home in Mariporã and confiscated a martial arts sword and his passport.
‘There was no need to enter a house like that. They should have rung the bell,’ Tucho said.
«At that time there were people in the house, including two children. They broke down the fence and opened the main door.
