One man was injured in a shooting Wednesday night in Saugus, Massachusetts that police said was triggered by road rage and the alleged shooter is now facing several charges.

It happened after 8 p.m. on Lincoln Avenue in Cliftondale Square near the Banana Splitz ice cream shop, which was not involved in the shooting. 

Police said the victim and suspect were both still on the scene when they arrived. At least one car was seen being towed away from the scene.

According to police, the shooting stemmed from a road rage incident and the suspect, identified as 48-year-old Stephen Cooper of Saugus, shot the victim in the leg. The victim, a 32-year-old man from Melrose, was taken to the hospital with a serious but non-life-threatening injury. His name has not been released.

"And the guy that shot just stayed in the parking lot until the cops came," business owner Jennifer Falzarano said. "Just a lot of violence and road rage and fighting, I don't know, kind of a tough area these days. It's pretty concerning for this area especially there's a lot of businesses and people that live in this area."

No details about what started the road rage incident were released.

Police said Cooper is lawfully licensed to carry a gun but is facing several firearm-related charges related to the shooting. His license to carry is also pending suspension by the licensing authority.

No other information was immediately available.

Cooper is expected to appear in court on Thursday.
