    Drivers arrested after Connecticut road rage shooting

    Orange — State police have arrested the drivers involved in a road rage incident that ended last week with a shooting and a slashing on Interstate 95 in Orange.

    Police say 39-year-old truck driver Jesus Izaguirra of Hidalgo, Texas is being held on $500,000 bond after being charged with assault, attempted assault and reckless endangerment. They say 33-year-old Juan Calderon of Orange, who was driving a passenger vehicle involved, is being held on $250,000 bond, facing charges including attempted murder.

    Police say Izaguirra slashed Calderon in the face after their vehicles pulled off the highway Thursday night. They say Calderon then got out of his car and shot Izaguirra.

    Both were taken into custody after being treated at Yale-New Haven Hospital and were due in court Monday.
