An Arizona man accidentally shot himself in the stomach after waving his gun in anger at a fellow drivers.

Tempe police spokesman Brandon Banks said Monday that 33-year-old David Lopez is expected to survive. Banks says Lopez could face charges including disorderly conduct, reckless display of a firearm and felony flight from police.

Banks says it is unclear what sparked the Friday incident and that Lopez has been evasive in police interviews.

The other driver, David Billy Jones, 33, was uninjured, but was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor drunken driving.
