TERRYTOWN, LA (WVUE) -
Former John Curtis and NFL player Joe McKnight was killed Thursday in a possible road rage shooting at a busy Terrytown intersection, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said it happened just after 3 p.m. at the corner of Behrman Highway and Holmes Boulevard. Two lanes of the roadway were shut down for several hours following the shooting.
Multiple witnesses said a man in an Infiniti sedan pulled the victim from his Audi and shot him multiple times after a verbal altercation. Witnesses said the shooter then waited for police to show up.
Sheriff Newell Normand identified the suspected shooter as Ronald Gasser, 54. Normand said he does not believe McKnight was carrying a gun.
Normand said there was a verbal exchange after a traffic incident, but did not release any other details about the moments leading up to the shooting. He said he will release more details after interviewing witnesses and Gasser.

Wow!
Back when I was a kid, you could drive through Tarrytown and expect that you would not be shot to death by some thug for no reason at all.
Did I read this right?
The white perp pulled the victim out of the car, shot him, and waited for police to arrive?
There's the accused shooter.
I'm sure he will mix in just fine with his fellow inmates at Angola.
What a POS!
Evil angry guy and from another article states he’s a former Navy vet.
Witness said that he shot McKnight then said “I told you not to F_@K with me” and then shot him again.
I give him about 2 weeks in Angola. Buh-bye.
“Was a white man who shot him so get ready for riots.”
Who is going to riot?
How does a skinny white boy pull a big football player out of a car?
“How does a skinny white boy pull a big football player out of a car?”
With a gun.
That skinny white boy will get pulled on a whole lot at the state prison.
Robert Redford?
Maybe it was self-defense.
“TMZ is pushing the Soros narrative.”
Soros did the shooting?
He finances the rioting and pushes the racial divide to further his gains.
Or were you born yesterday?
Had the same question. He weighs 205.
“Maybe it was self-defense.”
That would be tough to explain to a jury.
“Mr. McKnight stayed in he car, had no weapons and in self-defense, I walked up to his driver side window, drew my weapon, pulled Mr. McKnight out his car and then blew his brains out. “
I don’t see any rioting in Terrytown.
It’s the “pulled him out” part that might change. His lawyer may convince a jury that it only looked that way, and in reality the NFL sized decedent jumped out of the car and lunged at his client in a threatening manner.
The article does say that...
*******
“With a gun”
That's the only explanation I could come up with.
