A Pennsylvania man has admitted to multiple charges after prosecutors said he opened fire on a woman in an apparently unprovoked road rage shooting while she was passing his vehicle on a highway.
Christopher Corbi, 42, pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated assault, as well as misdemeanor assault and weapons offenses. Under the terms of the plea deal, prosecutors withdrew the most serious count against him: attempted murder. Corbi is due to be sentenced on Sept. 29.
After the shooting, the victim told a local television station she was grateful she survived the encounter.
“I had no road rage,” victim Kathryn Runner told Philadelphia ABC affiliate WPVI. “I didn’t, like, honk at him, I didn’t flip him the bird. I didn’t do anything to him. What gets me is a lot of cars passed him. What made him choose me?”
Newtown Township police said officers were called at about 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 27, 2025, to a reported shooting near the Newtown Bypass and Woodbourne Road. Responding officers found Runner with a gunshot wound to her left wrist.
Runner said she had been driving when she approached a vehicle moving slowly. Like several other drivers, she began to pass it.
“As I went around, I just saw something shiny in the corner of my eye, so I look over and I saw the barrel of the gun and then my window popped and then I saw the hole,” she told the TV station.
The victim called 911 and began following the car to take down its license plate number. Suddenly, the driver of the car made a hard turn onto another road before allegedly firing two more shots at her. This time one of the bullets hit her. Runner said she felt her fingers go numb and realized she was shot.
“I definitely was screaming at the 911 operator that he’s shooting at me,” she said.
With the vehicle information in hand, cops found the suspect “within minutes” and took him into custody. Officers also found a gun in the car, the press release said.
Runner received a couple of stitches at the hospital.
