WINTER GARDEN, Fla. - The Florida Highway Patrol says a possible road rage incident led to a shooting that wounded a man and a 17-year-old girl on Florida's Turnpike.

The victims were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center. Their injuries were considered minor. Troopers did not release their names, but said they were from Miami.

Montes said all lanes of the turnpike are open, adding that no one is permitted to stop along the roadway while the investigation is underway.
