Wesley Coons, 23, survived a terrifying encounter on a Wesley Chapel roadway early Friday morning following a night at a Luke Bryan concert. After dropping off friends at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheater, Coons was driving east on County Road 56 near Meadow Pointe Boulevard when he noticed a sedan partially in the bicycle lane. He rolled down his window to check on the driver, who then appeared offended and pointed a green laser followed by a gun at him. When Coons attempted to escape by making a U-turn, gunfire erupted, striking his truck with seven bullet holes but leaving no one injured. After the shooting, Coons found a Pasco County deputy nearby and reported the incident, where nine shell casings were discovered at the scene. As of now, no arrests have been made, though Coons remains grateful to be alive despite struggling to sleep and feeling uneasy about returning to the intersection.
