Other Indiana Road-Rage Incidents
Other reported road-rage cases in Indiana include an incident earlier this month in which the Indiana State Police said a person was injured in an apparent road rage shooting along I-465 on Indianapolis' east side, according to WTHR. A 41-year-old man was arrested after deputies said he fired a gun at another driver's vehicle during a suspected road rage incident on Red Rock Road in the Reno, Nevada, area, as reported by 2news.com.
Not every roadside gun case in the state has ended in charges. Greene County prosecutors said two days ago that Steven Couch acted in self-defense after Lowell Harroll pursued his car near Linton, Indiana, and declined to file charges, Hoodline previously reported. The Cedar Grove case remains open, with investigators still working to track down the driver of the white SUV.
