You take your underage kid on a driving lesson presumably not on a city street and on the way home, while you're driving, you have a near miss with another driver, only instead of a "my bad" the guy you nearly hit with your car (or vice versa) decides to follow you home and put a bullet into you in your driveway. That's at least the way the initial reporting told the story.
It seems to be a bit more complicated in Fox News's latest version.
The perp seems to have been apprehended. However the story seems more about neighborhood reciprocity considering the multiple gun discharges.
A suspect was arrested today in the death of a Las Vegas woman who went looking for another driver in a road-rage incident last week and was gunned down in front of her house, Metro Police said.
The suspect was under surveillance in his home in a residential northwest Las Vegas neighborhood, and officers took him into custody shortly before 1 p.m. in the 7900 block of Cherry River Drive, near Alta and South Buffalo drives, police said.
Sources have identified the suspect as Erich Milton Nowsch, Jr., 19.
Nowsch faces counts of murder, attempted murder and discharging a gun within a prohibited area, according to Las Vegas Justice Court records.
He is believed to be one of three people in the car on Thursday night when the shooting occurred. However, neighbors said he does not have a driver's license or a car, and the car in the surveillance tape does not match that of any car owned by the family.
The victim, Tammy Meyers, 44, was shot in the head Feb. 12 outside her house on Mount Shasta Circle. The incident started with an episode of road-rage and ended with shots fired from a car and returned by Meyers’ adult son, police said.
Meyers, a mother of four, died Saturday after she was taken off life support at University Medical Center.
He said his wife and son left their home to keep the family safe, and his son has been subjected to threats due to media coverage...
Last week, Meyers was headed home with her 15-year-old daughter after a driving lesson in the school parking lot when a man behind them sped up and drove alongside their vehicle, the teen told police.
The daughter said she reached over and honked the horn. The man stopped in front of their vehicle, got out and approached Meyers with angry words, police said.
Meyers continued home and sent her daughter inside the house before she and her adult son, Brandon Meyers, who was armed with a handgun, went looking for the vehicle, police said.
They apparently found the vehicle and followed it before heading home, where the vehicle pulled up and someone inside opened fire, police said.
Brandon Meyers fired back, and Tammy Meyers was hit in the head during the exchange, police said.
Robert Meyers said Friday that his son told him he believed there were three people in the car and his shots with a 9 mm handgun hit the car at least once.
Metro Police Lt. Ray Steiber said that Tammy Meyers was scared and upset after the initial incident and apparently wanted to find out who had frightened her and her daughter.
“I would never say that anybody went looking for trouble,” Steiber said when asked to characterize Tammy Meyers’ five-to-10 minute drive through the neighborhood.
This is from CNN's take on the incident
The son, who was armed, got into the car with his mother and they left the house. Robert Meyers said his son and wife were trying to move the car away from the family home. They didn't want the car to be recognized in front of their home.
But the other car, described as a grey or silver sedan, saw them, according to Robert Meyers.
Robert Meyers texted: "My wife and son drove away from home, bad guys following. She lost them and upon coming home turned on street, bad guys are right in front.
"After that, bad guys open fire different location. My wife got home, told her son to take cover and after he saw his mom shot he opened fire three times maybe four.
"Yes, maybe in a make-up world she should have stayed home. Please remember statement from this animal, 'I'm going to kill you and your daughter.'
"These guys will get away with murder now. No one gets it -- these people came to my home ... my son never shot until then. If it was the way media is pitching it, then why did son not shoot when they turned corner if he was looking to shoot (when) he had his chance?"
