Florida fathers caught on bodycam footage after shooting each other’s daughter
>
This is the chilling moment when two Florida fathers split up after allegedly shooting each other’s daughters.
The video opens with Frank Allison, 43, yelling obscenities at William Hale, 35, after the pair allegedly fired the bullets in a traffic accident near Jacksonville.
“That’s what you get!” Allison hears screaming. Allison then offers his shirt to his 14-year-old girl Shelby, who is helped by the police after being allegedly shot in the back by Hale.
After a back-and-forth between Allison and the police, Hale is then seen having his rights read to.
His five-year-old daughter, who cannot be seen in the images, is said to have been shot in the leg by Allison.
Hale refuses to need a lawyer before police say they will ask him questions, which is not shown on video.
Much of the video has been muted as both Allison and Hale relay information to police, including Allison, who said he would “never put his daughter in a position.”
“Should I drive an ambulance?” Shelby, who suffered a punctured lung, is heard to say. Both fathers were arrested on charges of attempted murder.

The two fathers were driving on US Highway 1 near Callahan, Florida
William Hale, 35, of Douglas, Georgia (left) and Frank Allison, 43, of Callahan, Florida (right) have both been charged with attempted murder after Saturday’s road shooting
Both girls are expected to survive, but Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper convicted both fathers for their stupidity in what one witness said was a high-speed cat-and-mouse game.
‘What’s scarier than a crazy driver with a gun? Two crazy drivers with a gun,” Leeper said Monday.
“But it could very easily have ended this way, because two people were acting stupid and letting their tempers take over. There could have been two dead children because of two stupid grown men.’
Hale was driving a black Dodge Ram near his home with five occupants inside, including his mother Britney.
Allison was driving a gray Nissan Murano with three occupants, including his wife Jessica and daughter Shelby, all of whom were on their way home to Georgia.
Both were on US Highway 1 near Callahan around 6 p.m.
Both accused each other of ‘brake control’, erratic and dangerous driving.
Jessica Allison opened the window and began making insulting gestures at Hale’s vehicle, after which the Hales threw a water bottle into Allison’s vehicle.
Frank Allison is seen with his wife Jessica. The couple, from Callahan, Florida, were both allegedly involved in actions leading up to the shooting

Frank Allison opened fire while driving, assuming he had hit the Hales’ tires – when in fact he had hit the girl.
Hale fired back, hitting Allison’s daughter who was in the car with one of the seven or eight bullets he loaded into the speeding vehicle.
The mother of one of the children who was shot can be heard via an emergency call.
“My daughter was shot – please help me,” she says.
A child can also be heard crying on the call.
‘I don’t want to die’, you hear the child say, according to News4Jax.
Both drivers continued north with their injured daughters in the back.
The pair saw a Nassau County Sheriff’s patrol car and stopped, then started arguing and fighting with each other by the side of the road, forcing the deputy to end the fight.
The couple was jailed on charges of attempted murder.
