A family’s Saturday drive turned into a nightmare on an Alabama interstate over the weekend when a man on a motorcycle, dressed in biker gear and wearing a “bullet-resistant vest” underneath, allegedly pulled up and began shooting at them with a pistol, as reported by local police.

“The gunfire struck the victim’s vehicle, endangering the lives of the occupants,” stated the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office in a press release on Sunday.

Jason Johnson, 30, of Centerville, Tennessee, is charged with three counts of attempted murder and shooting into an occupied vehicle. Cops allegedly found loaded magazines and a pistol in his possession.

Johnson was said to be wearing an Outcast Motorcycle Club vest during the incident, which is described by authorities as a motorcycle organization “known to engage in a range of criminal activity,” with over 65 chapters across the country.

Police said Sunday the shooting was reported on Interstate 65 in the area of Mile Marker 347. “A 911 caller reported that a man on a motorcycle fired shots at him and his family while they were traveling northbound,” the sheriff’s office said. “Following the alert issued with a detailed description of the suspect, troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) located the individual approximately 10 miles from the scene. Limestone County Deputies responded to assist with the traffic stop.”

Cops have not yet released a motive for the shooting.

Johnson was arrested “based on evidence and witness statements,” according to the LCSO release. A bond has not been set yet for his release.
