Gun Drawn in Line for Gas in Hurricane Sandy's Wake

People growing irritable and impatient

A man was arrested Thursday for pointing a gun at another motorist while waiting in a long line for gas at a station in Queens. Following Hurricane Sandy, gas has been hard to come by as suppliers run out and lines of people in need reach miles long. Sean Bailey, 35, allegedly cut the queue and drew his pistol when another man complained. He was arrested on charges of menacing and criminal possession of a weapon, and could face up to 15 years in prison. The power outages and flooding caused by Hurricane Sandy have forced many gas stations to close. Without power, fuel terminals can't pump gasoline onto tanker trucks, and gas stations can't pump fuel into customers' cars. (CBS)
