ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - A man who fired shots after a road rage event nine months ago in Willow has been charged with attempted murder.

Stephens is represented by the public defender’s office, which does not comment on pending cases. A message left with the Palmer public defender’s office Monday was not immediately returned.

Alaska State Troopers say Wohlers and Stephens’ girlfriend at the time engaged in a road-road incident and the woman stopped at the Sunshine Clinic in Willow, where Stephens was parked.

Wohler told investigators that Stephens approached with a shotgun and that he took it away.

Wohler said he returned to his car, started to drive off and Stephens shot him.
