30-year-old Kasey Haven of Salem, Indiana, and 64-year-old Ricky Hill of Henryville, Indiana, were in a sideswipe collision while traveling northbound on Interstate 65 near the 16-mile marker on December 6, around 2:00 PM.  Both Haven, driving a Ford Bronco, and Hill, driving a Chrysler Town and Country, did not pull over, and instead made gestures at each other and displayed a firearm to one another while continuing to drive north.  Haven and Hill stopped on the off-ramp of Interstate 65 at the 19-mile marker (Henryville exit), exited their vehicles, and confronted one another.  State Police detectives believe Haven pointed her handgun at Hill and fired four times at him, striking him once in the arm.
