Morphine Prince 109,926 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Two men were shot dead when another motorist, possibly armed with an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle, crashed into their car on a Houston freeway during rush hour and opened fire, police said. The deadly encounter began when the killer's car struck the victims' vehicle from behind, causing it to spin out, "similar to like a PIT maneuver we use," Houston Police Assistant Chief Bobby Dobbins said, referring to a tactic police use to force a car they are pursuing to turn sideways. The collision came at the top of an incline and the struck car had begun to roll down the hill when the shooter got out of his car and opened fire, police said. The gunman then ran in front of the prone car and blasted more rounds into the windshield, killing both men inside, Dobbins said. Another motorist not involved in the crash came on the scene and used his own personal weapon to open fire on the gunman, according to Dobbins. The witness "saw the suspect turn toward him; he thought he was going to be fired at. He had no idea what was going on," Dobbins said. "He fired several rounds at the suspect. He doesn't know if he hit the suspect. But it did cause the suspect to run." The shooter and another person in his car fled in their vehicle. Narcotics were found inside the victims' car, according to police, but they stopped short of connecting that discovery to the shooting.

As an Angeleno, the idea of a mass shooting on a freeway or blvd when traffic is usually so bad it takes an hour to go across town ... why do you think it was a hit job? i really hope so because that will ease my anxiety about this. i feel like it would be hard for a hit man to target a specific person on a moving freeway aphrodite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
