I don't believe the article is very clearly written so I'll just summarise instead of quoting-
Martin Treptow got into an argument with another man on the road- there are no details of what exactly prompted the dispute. As they exchanged angry words, Treptow manoeuvred his car up alongside the other man's vehicle, placing himself next to the driver's window. At that point the other man got out of his car and pulled a gun on Treptow, whose wife and two children were also in the car with him. With no opportunity to move quickly away from the gunman who was now only feet away, Treptow fired his own weapon three times, scoring hits in both legs and grazing his arm.
Turns out that Mr. Road Rage, who was apparently not injured badly as he has been released from hospital, is an undercover police officer. His identity, of course, remains a mystery. Treptow has been released without charge. An investigation is apparently still under way.
It's not clear from the article when the police officer will be disciplined for the road rage incident and his name made public.

Too bad Mr. Treptow isn't a better shot.
I wonder how long it will be until the DA decides to press charges against Treptow for attempted murder of a police officer??
I'm curious as to what calibre he was using- hits to each leg and the officer appears to have been released pretty rapidly from hospital? I'm guessing it wasn't a .45!
