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.

It looks like an example of self-defense to me. And by the way, there's no such traffic infraction as "cutting off," despite an assumption of many young morons.

Indeed.

There is no "right" to travel as fast as you dare over the posted limit in ANY lane.

What an azzwipe.

Not trying to trivialize this violence, but it does bring to mind that old saying:  "Never bring a bottle to a gunfight".

“How many people died?”

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.....

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.

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.

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.

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.
