(CAÑON CITY, Colo.) — The Cañon City Police Department is looking for information on an apparent road rage incident that left a victim with a gunshot wound to his foot.

At around 2:20 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 28, Cañon City police officers were dispatched to the Love’s Truck Stop, located at 690 Doc Holiday, close to Highway 50, on reports of a man with a gunshot wound.

According to witnesses, the incident occurred on Highway 50 between Dozier Avenue and Justice Center Road.
