My wife works for United Van lines. They found out that the driver who was killed was on his way home for Christmas. He is married with 2 kids.

... William Scott Miller, of Frankfort, Ky., was shot as he was driving his 18-wheeler on the LBJ Expressway in northeast Dallas, the Dallas Morning News reported. His rig came to a stop in the middle lane of the westbound LBJ, police said.

“The plan was he was going to fly home to be with his wife and kids,” Lt. Craig Miller of the Dallas homicide unit said.

Lt. Miller called the truck driver’s actions “heroic.” No other people were injured as Mr. Miller maneuvered his truck out of traffic. “Even though he was mortally wounded, he was able to control his rig,” Lt. Miller said.

"We are deeply saddened by this senseless act, and our hearts go out to the family of William Scott Miller, his wife Shannon and their two young daughters," United Van Lines said in a statement. "He will be greatly missed. Scott was a part of the United Van Lines team for nearly two years and had a flawless safety record. He was an asset to our company both personally and professionally."

Mr. Miller worked for the Vincent Fister agency in Lexington, Ky., a United spokesperson said.
