BROCKTON, Mass. -- A man lifting his infant daughter out of his car was killed in an apparent case of road rage by a motorist "who obviously exploded" and shot him four times at close range in front of dozens of witnesses, authorities said.

"Walter R. Bishop, 60, who was taking medication for depression..."

Sure, now there you are...blame the medication.
Cold blooded murder, pure and simple.
What a weird, horrible story.
Typical Massachusetts driver?
It's the rotaries.
I hope they fry the poor "depressed" b@st@rd. No excuse.
Bill & Electric, what are the chances this guy had a concealed carry permit? Is a handgun license valid to carry a handgun in his car?
He should have listened to Tom Cruise.
The victim's 10-month-old girl was covered with blood but uninjured when police found her in a car seat on the floor of the vehicle.
Walter R. Bishop, 60, who was taking medication for depression, was arrested Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder in the death of 27-year-old Sandro Andrade. He pleaded innocent and was ordered held without bail; a hearing was scheduled for Aug. 26.
Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz said Bishop had made a calculated decision to "shoot a man in cold blood in broad daylight on the streets of Brockton."
After dropping his wife off, he allegedly returned to the scene of the confrontation, pointed a handgun through an open window and fired, police said.
"Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Four shots. It sounded like a cap gun," Louis McPhee, the manager of a car wash across the street, told The Boston Globe. "The guy was lying there in his own blood with a hole in his head and his arm still on the baby."
Thats impossible...Ted 'the Swimmer' has assured me that I would be perfectly safe in Mass-of-2-sh*ts. Guns are strictly regulated.
"Typical Massachusetts driver?"
Pretty much.
Good thing for the guy this happened in MA, he'll probably get a stiff 3-4 month sentence and have to write a letter of apology (in the language of his choice, of course).
No death penalty in MA.
Remember MA is the home of Ted Kennedy -- he wanted to make sure he could kill again and not get the needle.
I can only assume that the deceased managed to merge into traffic, something the Massachusetts drivers detest.
Some commas would help make it clear who was killed: "Man, holding daughter, killed in road rage." Or you could have, "Man, holding daughter killed in road rage."
Well, it figures doesn't it?
TK is a loathsome individual. How anyone can listen to anything that comes out of his mouth and give any credibility is beyond me. He is a lunatic sociopath.
Gotta be a Prozac moment...another of many. I am "fabbergastic" that those kind of drugs remain on the market.
Just heard on the Boston news radio station (wed 8/3 12:30 PM EST) that there has been another road rage shooting North of Boston. A man and a woman.
The anti-gun crowd is going to latch onto this...
