A 6-year-old boy riding in the back seat of his mother’s car was killed by gunfire on Friday, May 21, 2021, CNN reported (here). Police said they’re looking for a “white sedan” and hope someone caught the incident on a dashcam.
According the Carsurance.com (here),
- Road rage is the leading cause of accidents
- Over one-third of road rage cases involve firearms
- 30 murders are attributed to road rage every year
- Eight in 10 drivers experience road rage
- Two out of three traffic fatalities occur due to aggressive driving
Their advice? “Maintain a safe distance from other vehicles on the road and don’t engage with other drivers.” Safe driving behavior and anger management are paramount.
As for the shooter who killed that little boy, if he’s caught, he should spend the rest of his life behind bars; and it’ll likely be a short life, because child killers usually don’t fare very well in prison.
