Hi Queram,
I had a quick look at that link the other day, but it seems to have been moved now. 
I found this one though:

A German lorry driver has admitted responsibility for hundreds of motorway shootings over the past five years, citing road rage as the cause.
The 57-year-old is said by police to be responsible for at least 762 shootings of other vehicles from his lorry. He is said to have had particular disdain for car transporters.
The man was arrested at his home in the Eifel region of south-west Germany early on Sunday morning. Police said he had a stash of weapons and 1,300 rounds of ammunition.
Jörg Ziercke, the president of the federal criminal police office of Germany, said the man had described his attacks as having been prompted by “annoyance and frustration at traffic”.
Ziercke called the case “unique in criminal history”.
The driver worked for an Eifel delivery company for 12 years. Police described him as “extremely unscrupulous” and at ease with the idea of injuring or even killing his victims. Miraculously only a handful were hurt in the attacks, including one who was hit in the neck, and another who drove their car into a crash barrier after swerving off the road.
Germany has no specific phrase for road rage, so the English phrase, which originated in the US in the late 1980s, is often used to describe the angry or aggressive behaviour of a motorist on the road.
The police spent four years investigating the motorway shootings. Investigators concluded early on that the culprit was most likely a lorry driver because of the height from which the bullets were fired.

Absolutely bonkers.
after they take his gun away, he’ll just have to satisfy his mental deficiencies by driving at 73 kph in no overtaking zones and 93 when it ends like many a german lorry driver

I thought you’re supposed to do it the other way round… 
“Boris Raufeisen von der Würzburger Staatsanwaltschaft spricht von einem Mann von durchschnittlicher Intelligenz, der sich der Vorwürfe bewusst ist”
= “BR from Wurzburg Prosecution Office talks (of the shooter) as of a man of average intelligence…”
Oh mein Gott… Lucky me who have not yet come across a bad tempered German driver of low intelligence…
What a loon. He must of been doing it for quite some time though, nearly 800 bullet holes! Surprised it took them so long to catch him.
