In a dramatic early evening shooting, two men were shot to death on Interstate 10, tying up eastbound lanes filled with rush hour motorists according to Houston police. The shooter remains at large after fleeing the scene, police said.

"Unreal scene just witnessed on I-10 in Houston," tweeted Daniel Gotera of KHOU. "A guy gets out of his car with gun just shooting in the middle of freeway. Unbelievable." Police said they do not believe the shooting is related to road rage. Interstate 10 east at John Ralston Road was closed due to the incident with traffic backed up for hours.

Sounding like a good plan. The way Houston is going, I think I need to start wearing a plate carrier during my commute. Or save my pennies and buy a surplus MRAP.

Don’t get me wrong, made a lot of good money down there, lots of good times along with some jail time. Harris county can be kinda tough. Never thought I would leave Texas, but I did, and am very happy with my new life. Sorta like Mayberry and the Dukes of Hazard where I live now.

It makes no sense for the right to do it because they don’t want gun control.

It makes all the sense in the world for the left to sponsor this kind of stuff so they can push for it.

I agree.

Unfortunately, people will fall for it.

We CANNOT give up on him, even if he does this. Because the alternative will be the death of this country.

Domestic or gang related, I’m thinking...

Vics are two males...more likely gang related.
