The man and a passenger told police that as the Escalade pulled alongside their vehicle, they heard a loud pop and the rear window shatter. They said they believed the driver of the Escalade was shooting at them...A grand jury in Dallas County will review evidence in the case and decide whether to indict the pickup truck’s driver. “This shooting is a tragic example of senseless road rage, impacting the lives of numerous people in multiple families,” police wrote in the statement.

Indeed.
There is no "right" to travel as fast as you dare over the posted limit in ANY lane.
What an azzwipe.
Let me be the first to say "that escalated quickly."
Too lazy to open article. How many people died?
“How many people died?”
Just one, the man who “fired” the bottle at the second caf.
Change lanes to interfere.
What a shame.
But sometimes if you dance, you gotta pay the band MUCH more than they were worth.
why not step on the brakes or the gas pedal?.....I don’t think one should be pulling out a gun so quickly on impulse.....
Never bring a glass bottle...
It looks to me like what people have become in todays world.....easily upset, demanding, and don’t get in their way for any reason or say anything they think is offensive even when it’s not... as they believe they are entitled to put you in your place one way or another.
Sounds like a good shoot to me. No bill!
The “impulse “ was the back glass of their pickup shattering from the glass bottle the guy threw.
Pasillas was mad after he was cut off by the pickup’s driver and threw a glass bottle at it, Pasillas’ wife, who was a passenger in the SUV, told police.”
““The driver of the pickup indicated he was in fear for his life and fired back at the Escalade,” Garland police wrote in a statement.
Happens all the time. :-) One dead and the other goes to jail. Good riddance to both of them.
Steve Lehto, is that you?
About a block from the large driver’s license examination location in Garland, which always has state troopers around. Also not very far from the old Hypermart location, where Walmart first tested superstores more than three decades ago.
Unless its filled with something flammable and you’ve got a damned good arm.
yes the bottle was thrown....my first instinct would be to step on the brakes and duck.....it would not be “I’m going to get that guy”....but that’s just me...
Even though I carry, in this instance I think my first impulse would have been to hit the gas and get the heck out of there. Not seeing the exchange, I don’t know if that was possible.
Twice in my life I have had another nutball driver point a gun at me. In one we made a hard left across the interstate median and drove back to the previous interchange. Scared us quite well.
