Before firefighters arrived, however, its driver, Marcos Gonzalez-Salinas, 24, got in the car, and drove it away — still in flames. He went around the block and pulled up again, pulled a gun, and shot the car. Once police finally arrived, they found Gonzalez-Salinas hiding nearby. He was charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon, and firing it in public. Police said he was under the influence of something, but didn’t know what.
