A North Carolina doctor was arrested Aug. 22 after he allegedly fired into a Jeep during an interstate road rage incident, wounding two sisters, ages 12 and 20, according to Virginia State Police.<\/p>\n

Dr. Richard Thomas Arriviello, 61, of Charlotte, North Carolina, was driving north on Interstate 77 in his Mercedes-Benz around 8:50 a.m. when gunfire erupted about three miles north of the North Carolina-Virginia state line.<\/p>\n

State police said in a press release that Arriviello fired into the moving Jeep, striking both sisters in the legs.<\/p>\n

Both victims were airlifted to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening, according to police.<\/p>\n

State police have not said what led to the alleged road rage encounter or whether investigators recovered a firearm from Arriviello\u2019s Mercedes-Benz.<\/p>\n

The Jeep\u2019s driver was also cited for reckless driving, but authorities did not identify the driver.<\/p>\n
