Police: OP man blames PTSD for road-rage shooting

From The Star: An Overland Park man who police said claims to suffer post-traumatic stress from serving in Iraq was charged Sunday with shooting at another driver in Lee’s Summit.

Sean M. Bradley, 23, was charged with unlawful use of a weapon in a drive-by shooting about 2:30 a.m. Sunday.

A witness told police that Bradley argued with one of his passengers and got lost as he drove in Lee’s Summit after leaving a casino. He started mumbling about war, and then he fired a gun several times, striking the driver’s mirror of a vehicle that he had tried to ram on U.S. 50 near Third Street, witnesses told police. No one was hurt.

Bradley pulled over and talked to his passengers about war until police arrived.

people drive like aholes outside of the casinos. not sure if it's drunk, lost too much money, or both. As far as the PTSD, that's a b.s. card he pulled, it might help... but it's b.s. I'm a vet and I've never got lost and started shooting up cars.

Hector...
I have to agree!! Probably under the influence of something!

Can't judge PTSD for anyone else. Fact the he stopped the vehicle and talked about the war until the police came sounds like he asking for help to me. Everyone is different and only a trained pysch. can evaluate. I only wish that he gets the help that he needs. God help our veterans returning home.

sounds like a retard with a gun. I hope he killed enough of the bad guys to make up for his lousy existence on this earth.
