Gasoline station entrepreneur Antonio Turbí was fired at three times by an unidentified individual on a passing motorcycle while driving on the Estrella Sadhalá overpass in Santiago. Police authorities said it was an apparent attempt to kill or intimidate him. Turbí was interned in the Clinica Corominas and medical reports say he is recovering. A woman who was with him in the car was uninjured. Turbí is the owner of three gasoline stations. He achieved notoriety by going against the union of gasoline stations and dropping prices that made his the most popular stations. When the gasoline station owners union got the government to prohibit him from charging less, he decided to get around it giving customers RD$1 rebates on the gallon of gasoline.
