Shocking footage captured a raging Colorado 'Karen' pointing a gun at a young couple after they honked at her in front of a supermarket.
The anonymous pair said they were trying to drive out of a packed King Soopers parking lot in Federal Heights King over the weekend when they found themselves stuck behind a parked car.
After waiting a moment to see if the car would move out of the way, they honked to 'signal them to keep going,' the couple shared with FOX 31.
But the trivial parking lot exchange quickly took a drastic turn when the woman driving the car in front of them jumped out her vehicle and started heading toward them.
'She started walking up, and she was like cursing at us,' the couple said. When the woman began approaching them, they started to record the interaction.
They soon realized that she was holding a gun with a blue laser pointer attached to it.
One of the frightened passengers said: 'I looked down on my shirt and I can see the laser on my shirt and I was like we have to go, we have to go, like I was really scared.
'There was no exchanging of words before it or anything. Maybe it makes me feel like I should’ve been more patient and just waited, because maybe that wouldn’t have happened.'

In the video, the agitated woman wearing a red hooded sweatshirt reached into her pocket and pulled out the gun while people watched her.
After flashing the weapon, she put it back into her pocket. The couple noted that there were plenty of people around when this occurred.
'There was a lot of families walking out of the store behind us,' one of them said to FOX 31.
The couple reported the incident to police and said they plan on pressing charges against the unhinged woman.
DailyMail.com reached out to the Federal Heights Police Department for more information and a spokesperson said the situation is under investigation.
This parking lot calamity comes less than a month after a Vegas Uber driver was shot in the neck and killed during a road rage incident.
The victim in his late 50s was found dead, lying on the road with a serious neck injury.
Police said that before the shooting, the driver, who had two passengers in his vehicle, was embroiled in a road rage incident with the suspect that stretched on for around a quarter of a mile.

The victim was driving behind the suspect's vehicle, and when both cars came to a halt, the victim stepped out of his vehicle before approaching the driver's side door and banging on the window.
Cops said this was the moment the suspect shot the Uber driver in his neck.
The victim had also reportedly pulled out his own firearm, but collapsed before he was ever able to pull the trigger.
The assailant fled the scene before officers arrived, but they were quickly able to identify the license plate.
They then arrested a woman in her 20s without incident, police said, and she was taken into custody.
