Las Vegas police work to identify a suspect in the apparent “road rage” shooting that left a mother of four dead. Authorities are struggling to draw an accurate picture of what happened.
The adjusted timeline of events is largely based on the accounts of the daughter and son who were in the car with the victim, 44-year-old Tammy Meyers.
Police now believe that after Meyers and her 15-year-old daughter finished a driving lesson in a school parking lot, Meyers drove home. When a car pulled up aggressively behind Meyers and tried to pass, Meyers' daughter reached over and honked the horn, police say.
“Meyers sped past the male, and she continued on her way,” Steiber said. "Mrs. Meyers is scared, she’s upset.” Meyers drove home and asked her daughter to tell her son, 22-year-old, who was armed, to come out to the car. Tammy and son went looking for the "road rage" suspect and found him, before losing track of him again, Steiber said.
When the mother and son returned home, the suspect's car pulled up. Gunfire erupted and Meyers was fatally wounded. "All indications ... are that this unknown person had fired shots first," Steiber said, adding that the son returned fire.
The son said, "I did what I had to do to protect my family. And I'd do it for anyone I love.”
That may have been the cause of this tragedy.
What kind of a lesson was that? Just a thought.
