Two fathers started shooting at each other from their cars in a road rage chase. Both their daughters ended up getting shot, police said.

• Two men began shooting at each other in an apparent road rage incident in Florida, Fox5 reported.
• The daughters of both men were injured in the shooting.

Two daughters were injured after their dads began shooting at each other during a road rage chase in Florida, Fox5 reported.

The Nassau County Sheriff's Office told Fox5 that the two men William Hale, 35, and Frank Allison, 43, were charged with attempted murder for the incident that took placed on October 8.

Hale's 5-year-old daughter was shot in the leg by Allison's gun, and Allison's 14-year-old daughter suffered from a collapsed lung when she was hit in the back, the sheriff's office told Fox5.

"There could have been two dead kids because of two stupid grown men," Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said at a news conference last week, local outlet WEAR reported.

Fox5 reported that police began getting calls about shots being fired at around 6 p.m. on Saturday. A witness told officers that they saw a black Dodge Ram and a gray Nissan Murano driving erratically as if in a "cat and mouse game," the outlet reported.

Leeper said Hale was in the pickup truck while Allison was driving the sedan. The two kept driving in front of each other and slamming their brakes. Someone in Hale's truck shouted at the sedan to pull over after which someone in that car "flicked off" the truck, Fox5 reported. In response someone in the truck threw a water bottle at the sedan, and then Allison fired a shot at the sedan and sped off, Leeper said, according to Fox5.

Hale pulled out his gun when he realized his daughter had been shot and then fired multiple shots at Allison's sedan striking his daughter, Fox5 reported.

The chase came to an end when the two drivers saw a patrol car and pulled over, according to the outlet.

"What is scarier than one crazy driver with a gun? Two crazy drivers with a gun," Leeper said. "Thankfully, no one was killed in this incident but it could've very easily turned out that way because two people were acting stupid and let their tempers get the best of them."
