HOUSTON Investigators are searching for answers after a suspected drunken driver was found shot dead after he allegedly slammed into a family's truck on a rural Houston-area road, killing two young brothers.
12-year-old David Barajas and his 11-year-old brother, Caleb, were helping their father push his disabled truck down the road when 21-year-old Jose Banda allegedly slammed into them from behind, MyFoxHouston.com reports.
Neighbors say they heard gun shots minutes after the crash. Police responding to the crash found Banda shot in the head, but no gun at the scene. Banda and both boys died.

I guess Jose realized that he was a bad person and decided to do the right thing...

Suicide by Texan.
A family close to ours lost their darling 7 year old daughter when they were rear ended trying to push a stalled car out of traffic lanes.

Some aches never quite go away.

They say they have not yet interviewed either the boys' father, David Barajas Sr. or mother, Cindy Barajas. David Barajas suffered minor injuries in the crash, and his wife and two daughters, who were inside the car during the accident, were not hurt.
I guess the rest of the Barajas didn't see nuthin.

They admit he was drunk. Any word on his citizenship status?

Hispanic Family Values, kill the innocents by driving drunk. Then shoot to kill the culprit, how positively Byzantine.

My niece was killed in a drunk driver accident.At the ER where she died my brother (her uncle) saw a young guy sitting in a hallway with bruises,etc.He said that he suspected he was the drunk who killed our niece and,we learned later,he was correct.My brother said that if he had been *certain* that that was the guy he would have killed him right then and there.

My son noted a worthwhile point: The driver might have been shot *before* the accident, causing it!
To: marktwain
Witnesses reported hearing the gunshots AFTER the sounds of the crash, according to the article.
Nobody seems very broken-up that the guy was shot.

Some of the initial earlier reports I read stated that neighbors heard the crash then 2 distinct shots afterwords. My money is on the mother but who knows it is all a mystery.
