The Signal

Did Somebody Say “Shot”?

-

On Feb. 27, the Smoking Gun reported, Christina Blair, 33, of Albuquerqu­e, New Mexico, began honking her horn and yelling obscenitie­s at Gabriel Chavez while the two drove their cars on an Albuquerqu­e road. Blair told police she had become enraged upon seeing Chavez’s “Vaccinated” bumper sticker. After Blair hit Chavez’s car with an object (later revealed to be a water bottle) at a red light, Chavez accidental­ly backed into Blair’s car. The two pulled into a Walgreen’s parking lot, where Chavez expected to exchange insurance informatio­n; instead, Blair pulled a handgun from her car and racked the weapon. Chavez called 911, and police were able to use Chavez’s cellphone video to acquire Blair’s license plate info and track it to her residence. Blair was taken into custody and booked on a count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
