Distressing video captures road-rage shooting that killed father of two
Chilling dashcam video captured the moment a father of two was fatally shot in Chicago during a road-rage incident with another driver — who was later arrested on a murder charge.
Scott Mattison, 46, is seen arguing with the driver of a white Ford sedan about 5:30 p.m. Sunday near Bartlett and Oltendorf roads in the northwestern suburb of Streamwood, CBS Chicago reported.
He appears to stick his arm into the vehicle before being shot.
“He didn’t deserve to die — to be gunned down the way he was,” Kevin Polka, Mattison’s boss at Paragon Mechanical Inc. in Arlington Heights, where the victim worked as an HVAC installer, told the news outlet.
“He always was about his daughters,” Polka added.

Why did he stick his arm into the car? Stupid move.
In stand your ground states I don’t see a crime here.
Chicagostan
People are wound way too tight these days. Plus, a lot of them are buzzed or high. Not worth the risk.
Yep. Just let it go. You’ll never see that person again.
No justification to kill someone from what I saw, but the dude is an idiot to confront someone like that in a road rage incident. Sorry, that is stupid, especially in Chicago.
Depends on how the state wrote SYG law.
In Florida you don’t have to fear for your life, fear of bodily injury is enough.
When you are completely controlled by your anger and emotions you blindly reach into another person’s vehicle. His inability to control his emotions cost him his life.
There must be more to the story if they’re charging the shooter with first degree murder.
Duh!
Yep, as soon as he did that - goodbye!
Seriously, no justification?
If I am in my vehicle with my wife and children, somebody reaches in to grab me or the keys, I am really thinking of ways to remove myself or remove him from the equation. If I can’t move, a 9mm round will move him. But I will not take a chance of opening my family to that kind of aggression.
Trying to stop the riots before they start?
It looks like he assaulted the driver - tapped his head or hit him.
If this happened in a free state, I bet there’d be no charges.
Exactly. Everybody, at some point, makes a mistake driving. You don’t have enough details. Let it go. It isn’t worth it.
Fair point. I have no idea what they guy was saying and if was threatening them, maybe there is justification to kill. It didnt look like he was assaulting anyone.
That said, I wouldn’t be put my wife and kids in danger by pulling over in the first place.
Spoken like a very very Wise Man!
You have way more to lose than these hot heads.
Ignore and don’t even acknowledge them. They’ll move on and try to stir somebody else who’s weak and will take the bait.
These people are predators.
If you find people raging at you often, there's a good chance that YOU are the problem.
Hopefully he didnt pass his idiot genes on to his poor kids.
