A horrific tale of extreme road rage took place in Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday, when a three-year-old boy who was out on a shopping trip with his grandmother was shot and killed. What caused a driver to pick up his weapon? Apparently, the boy’s grandmother “wasn’t moving fast enough at a stop sign,” according to police. The gunman is still at large.
It all began when the victim’s grandmother was at a stop sign and a car pulled up behind her and honked the horn. The grandmother responded by honking her own horn. And that’s when the driver apparently got out of the car and fired a single shot. The grandmother quickly pulled away and drove to a JC Penney, where she realized her grandson had been injured. The boy was taken to the hospital but he died shortly thereafter.
Police say the shooter didn’t have any relationship with either the grandmother or the boy and described the killing as a “road rage incident.” Police also asked for the public’s help in locating the gunman.
The three-year-old boy was the second child in less than a month to be killed by a gunshot while riding a car in Little Rock. On Nov. 22, a two-year-old girl was shot by someone in a passing car although the motive of that shooting is still unknown.
