• On Sept. 13, a road rage incident in Amarillo, Texas, all started when Car No. 1 tried to pass Car Nos. 2 and 3.
No. 1 got past the first car, but No. 3 sped up to prevent the pass.
As Car No. 1 passed No. 3, someone in No. 1 fired shots into No. 3.
"The victim in this case did have a handgun in their vehicle and returned fire at the suspect," Amarillo police Cpl. Jeb Hilton told KVII-TV.
And here's where Texas' tricky law comes in: While it is against Texas law to shoot a firearm from a moving or stationary vehicle on a roadway, if you're shooting in self-defense, you're off the hook.
The person in Car No. 3 will not face any charges. There were no injuries reported in the incident. [KVII, 9/14/2021]
