US Air Force sergeant Charles Bass is being accused of terrifying a 19-year-old Arizona woman named Shi’Anna Bamba during a road rage incident.
According to the reports, Bass pointed a gun at Shi’Anna Bamba before asking if she wanted to die. The footage is crazy and the question is, what could have led to such a terrifying road rage incident?
Charles Bass was arrested following the wild footage of him pointing a gun at Bamba and then asking ‘Do you want to f****** die?’
Bamba told ABC15 the chilling moment on December 5 came after she was accused of cutting off a truck, which she denies, and she rolled up to a stop light alongside Bass.
The Arizona teen said she started recording as they stopped next to each other out of fear, with part of the recording showing Bass raise the gun and aim it directly at the 19-year-old.
Bamba said when she was first confronted by the Air Force veteran, she didn’t realize the danger she was in.
‘The first time he pulled it up, it didn’t really hit me,’ she said.
She said she had just dropped her siblings off at school when she tried to change lanes. Court records reportedly say she cut off a truck, but Bamba claims she ‘didn’t even attempt to switch lanes yet.’
After the near-miss, Bamba said she saw another driver gesture at her as he raced past her, and her heart sank as she saw she was pulling up along side him at the stop light.
‘Then I heard him say, ‘Did you want to die?’ Bamba said.
Bamba said she is still shaken by the incident, and can’t understand what led the veteran to allegedly threaten to kill her over road rage.
‘There’s nothing I could say out of my mouth that could threaten you that much to have a finger on the trigger, and I was in the car by myself,’ she said.
According to Bass, “he raised the gun in the heat of the moment ‘because of his PTSD and hypervigilance issues’, which he says alarmed him when he saw Bamba’s car window go down and he didn’t know what could happen.”
Charles Bass has been booked in on multiple charges including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. In the meantime, investigations are still ongoing.
