Shot? How awful....condolences...
Sobering. Yes, several scenarios spun through my mind as well.
Suffice it to say I've cooled down a lot while driving lately.....even if people tailgate or cut me off....you just never know...

Wow! Long gun or handgun will tell an important tail. My condolences to the family.

True, but at 5:30am, I'm guessing there is more to it...perhaps a possible car jacking? I don't know, but Frankie makes a good point; you better think twice before flipping someone the bird these days.

What is that area like? I realize bad stuff can happen anywhere but is this a shady area? Sorry for a slight hijack but my wife has to make a trip to about 10 miles away from where that happened. Just wondering what to expect.

I must admit it's a long shot, but I feel a little sick to my stomach. I had the opportunity to purchase a 56 a few years back and passed. The car went to Texas to an older gentleman. I sure hope this isn't the car.
I see the wheels are red, but that's an easy change. The car I passed on was a 3 owner car, and after I passed I by chance ran into the original owner. I'm gonna send the lady who had the one I passed on and see if she knew the name.

RR, I thought Conroe and the Woodlands used to be real nice, but haven’t been there in years. Like you said bad can happen anywhere. Everything is speculation right now. Carjacking, suicide to look like car jacking, road rage, family problems. Who knows. There was doctor killed in Houston last month by a guy who upset about his mother’s death with doctor that happened 20 years ago.

What a twist to this incident. When the term "foul play" was used the thought of a gun shot never entered my mind. Several possible scenarios exist including a random shooter. I think if it was self inflicted the police would have been able to determine that by now. Hopefully if it is murder they will be able to make an arrest.

That’s right by where they have swap meets, always thought it was a safe area.

Very sad though.
