## Resource

A 60-year-old man, Steven License, is facing assault to murder charges after allegedly firing two shots at a truck driver in Hingham over a napkin tossed from his car window. The confrontation escalated when the truck driver confronted License’s wife in a library parking lot, and License, in the passenger seat, reportedly opened fire—though both shots missed. License claims he acted in self-defense after the driver allegedly assaulted his wife, but police video shows only verbal aggression, not physical contact. Firing a gun over a verbal dispute was deemed unreasonable. License, hospitalized for stress, pleaded not guilty and is held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing. This explosive road rage incident underscores how quickly minor annoyances can spiral into deadly consequences. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
